Hi Jeff. Thanks for pointing this out! 1.4.0 was indeed a touch lax in this regard; and now that we've tightened things up personal-schema no longer validates! :-( So I'm glad you pointed this out so we can fix it before 1.4.1 comes out.
I'll get this done shortly.

[1] In the sample personal.xsd I believe there is an error that is not reported. I don't think the ref's to the schema components should be resolved as they should be in the no-namespace (because there is no targetNamespace) and they are actually in th schema namespace because they are qualified. I could be wrong about that. Nevertheless, I added a targetNamespace to personal.xsd and referred to it in personal-schema.xml to ensure that there is very clearly an error-- but Xerces didn't catch it: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <schema xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' targetNamespace="http://foo";> <element name="personnel"> <complexType> <sequence> <element ref="person" minOccurs='1' maxOccurs='unbounded'/> </sequence> </complexType> ... <element name="person"> ... </element> Above the peronal element contains a person element which is declared by reference. The ref to the person element should raise an error as it cannot be resolved because the ref is unqualified. I can give a more full sample if needed.
