The attached example demonstrates this misbehaviour: although it is a valid docbook document, it is erroneously reported as invalid: $ xmllint --xinclude --postvalid main.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"> <article lang="en"> <title>xmllint postvalidation test</title> <para id="fooß"> xmllint hat problems with post validation of XML attributes values containing non ascii characters. </para> </article> include.xml:5: element para: validity error : Syntax of value for attribute id of para is not valid Document main.xml does not validate $ echo $? 3 A workaround shows that the --valid option behaves correctly: $ xmllint --xinclude --output - main.xml | xmllint --valid - <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"> <article lang="en"> <title>xmllint postvalidation test</title> <para id="fooß"> xmllint hat problems with post validation of XML attributes values containing non ascii characters. </para> </article> $ echo $? 0 - -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libxml2-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.2 libxml2-utils recommends no packages. libxml2-utils suggests no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHsEARECADsWIQSkpui1WTrom0lrgvByjYt+uIjSzgUCWV3b4x0cYW5kcmVhc0Bo b2VuZW4tdGVyc3RhcHBlbi5kZQAKCRByjYt+uIjSzhS6AJ4jCOJoC7nhwgA7UH/X /i+MboG5gQCeKQNfu5X01aawXVTSJ26wH0nEGAo= =kSR1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
