Tnx. I need to study (assertions in) xml schema 1.1 ;)
Does the assertion below state that every question of the poll must be answered?

How do I change
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified" version="1.0" >
so that it refers to xsd 1.1?
Does XMLSpy support xsd 1.1?
Do parsers validate against xsd 1.1?

Google couldn't answer me (or I asked it the wrong questions ;))...
