Hi Bharath,

targetNamespace should not have the namespace prefix.  The attributes in XML 
schema (and most XML vocabularies) are unqualified.  The XML schema schema 
does allow attributes from other namespaces, but really shouldn't allow 
attributes from the XML schema namespace.  libxml looks to be taking a 
relaxed interpretation here.

HTH,
