Hi Patrick,

I tried your schema in XmlSpy 2004 rel. 4, it works fine and the xml 
document can be validated. Can you try this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified" 
attributeFormDefault="unqualified" 
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
         <xs:element name="Description">
                   <xs:complexType mixed="true">
                            <xs:sequence>
                                     <xs:any 
namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" processContents="lax" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
                            </xs:sequence>
                            <xs:attribute name="ReadFromDB" 
type="xs:boolean" use="required"/>
                            <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:integer" 
use="required"/>
                   </xs:complexType>
         </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
