=0D=0AHi Michael,=0D=0A=0D=0A> I can't see your problem here. An NMTOKEN ca=
nnot be a zero-length=0D=0Astring=0D=0A> because the XML 1.0 grammar rules =
it out, quite explicitly. And an=0D=0ANMTOKENS=0D=0A> cannot be a zero-leng=
th sequence of NMTOKEN values because the=0D=0Aadjective=0D=0A> "non-zero-l=
ength" rules it out, again quite explicitly.=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AMy point was =
that the NMTOKENS type *is* defined explicitly as=0D=0Anon-zero-length in t=
he schema doc while the NMTOKEN type is not. As you=0D=0Asay, it is only de=
fined as non-zero-length in the grammar rules in the=0D=0AXML 1.0 spec and =
not in the schema docs which is my issue. =0D=0A=0D=0A"Any property ident=
ified as a having a set, subset or *list* value may=0D=0Ahave an empty valu=
