Re: [xml-dev] Follow up on: Help regarding an XML attribute.

[Wayne Steele <xmlmaster@hotmail.com>]

I don't like the looks of your attribute called "dt:dt".
In an XSD, the 'name' attribute of an 'attribute' element must be an NCName.

If you change it to "dt", will it then validate the way you expect?
