349810 - Enable complex schema validation on node

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, defect)

Description

[aaronr]

We need to incorporate the latest erratum on how to validate a node that is bound to a complex schema type.  This is spelled out at: http://www.w3.org/2006/03/REC-xforms-20060314-errata.html#E10

Related to this, we need to figure out a way to attach a complex schema type to an instance node even if there is no schema type name.  For example:

<xsd:element name="population">
  <xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:simpleContent>
      <xsd:extension base="xsd:integer">
        <xsd:attribute name="year" type="xsd:gYear"/>
      </xsd:extension>
    </xsd:simpleContent>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

If we have an element with the name of population in our instance doucment, we have to validate it against these rules, but I can't think of an easy way to remember that there is a complex schema type for this element or how to easily track down the rules in a schema document.
