Validating XML documents containing xml:*

["Mark Seaborne" <MSeaborne@origoservices.com>]

Hi,

I have some XML schemas that do not declare the XML: attributes (lang, base, id). If an instance uses one or more of these attributes must it fail validation against the schema, or can I use these attributes without declaring them in my schemas?

All the best

Mark
