Re: [xml-dev] XSD 1.1 assertions are a great mistery for me

[Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com>]

I suspect you have overlooked that the data model supplied as input to the assertions is in effect the result of applying validation using everything in the schema except the assertions. In consequence, the fixed value of the @abstract attribute will be expanded, so tests like exists(@abstract) will always be true.
