Hi Folks,

Below I show BookStore.xsd. It specifies defaultAttributes. It imports Book.xsd, which also has a defaultAttributes. 

The defaultAttributes specified in BookStore.xsd only applies to the complexTypes within that file, and the defaultAttributes specifies in Book.xsd only applies to the complexTypes within that file, correct?
