RE: Referencing attributes from the XMLSchema-instance namespace

From: "Mary Holstege" <holstege@--------.--->

The WG discussed this 2007-03-28. It is tracked as bugzilla #4346.
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4363

Conclusions:

There is no rule in the specification that forbids referring to attribut=
es
in the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace.

However, as shown, schema document is not valid because it lacks an impo=
rt.
The specification requires imports, which serve a dual purpose of
identifying the resource containing the schema definitions (unnecessary =
in
this case) and licensing the import of definitions from that namespace.

However, note that even if the schema were valid, it would be ineffectiv=
e.
The rules in Validation Rule: Element Locally Valid (Complex Type) mean
that the attribute use settings such as default values will not have any=

effect because they are not consulted for the attributes in the
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance namespace.

For the WG
