Where can I find the rule for > this case in the schema recommendation? It's a grey area of the spec. It isn't clear whether IDREF is enforced for defaulted attributes. Members of the schema WG are aware of this issue and have opened a bug report against the spec in Bugzilla [1]. I think this is probably a bug, but will wait for a response from them before making any changes to the code. > Cheers, > Christian > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Thanks.
