If a complex type is empty, then no child elements are allowed. But if =
the
mixed=true, then you are still allowed text nodes, comments, and =
processing
instructions as children; and even if mixed=false, you are still =
allowed
comments and processing instructions (and empty CDATA sections, I =
think). So
it's wrong to say that an empty complex type disallows all content.

Subject: Empty complexType with mixed="true"
Hello,
I have the following example test based on XML schema w3c test suite:
Instance:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>test</root>
Schema:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:complexType name="fooType" mixed="1"/>
<xs:element name="root" type="fooType"/>
</xs:schema>
I understand from the spec that empty complex type forbids any content, =
but
apparently, mixed="1" overrides this and seems to allow textual =
content
which is anySimpleType.
Is this a correct interpretation of the spec?
Thanks.
Shlomo.
