Just that the XML representation of a component, in this case an
attribute declaration, is not the cmoponent itself. In this case the
mapping rules say that such a representation corresponds to an
attribute declaration with {type definition} set to xs:anySimpleType.
So the component _does_ have a type definition, and it will get used
at validation time, and so Xerces and XSV are correct.
