Hi Adam,

Oxygen uses Xerces 2.6.2.
Top level attributes are defined inside the schema target namespace
therefore they should appear in your instance documents qualified with a
prefix mapped to that namespace, the form applies to local attribute
declarations. You can also see that the oXygen content completion does not
offer you the form attribute on the top level xs:attribute while it presents
it in the xs:attribute inside the element declaration. Local defined
attributes belong to no namespace because attributeFormDefault is set to
unqualified, therefore they should be represented in instance documents
without a prefix.

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <element xmlns="http://schema.foo.net/bar"
>   <element foo="bar" bar="foo"></element>
> </element>

If you remove the foo attribute and enter it through the content completion
you will see that oXygen will enter automatically a prefix mapped to the
schema target namespace and qualifies the attribute with that:
xmlns:oXygen1="http://schema.foo.net/bar" oXygen1:foo="x"

> <b:element xmlns:b="http://schema.foo.net/bar">
>   <b:element b:foo="bar" bar="foo"/>
> </b:element>

This is valid as reported because foo attribute is in the
http://schema.foo.net/bar namespace and the local defined bar attribute is
in no namespace.

Hope that helps,
George
