##other should work for you. The Xml Schema Errata clarified [1] that it
does not allow unqualified components.

Subject: anyAttribute ##other?


hi all,

I have a question with respect to anyAttribute functionality. Consider
the 
following XML excerpt

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<object xmlns="urn:foo:ob" xmlns:it="urn:foo:it" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
.....
<item param="value1" it:test="value2"/>
.....
</object>

now, my schema needs to express/restrict that

1. the item element (in the urn:foo:ob NS) has a required attribute
param 
(no NS prefix required).

2. the item element (in the urn:foo:ob NS) can have multiple optional 
attributes (anyAttribute) from a NS other than urn:foo:ob. These
attributes 
must have a NS prefix.

Note that using anyAttribute="##other" is not sufficient, as this =
still 
allows to add attributes without NS prefix.

can someone help me ahead with this problem?
many thanks
thomas
