David,
we are normally using jing in order to validate documents created with
OpenOffice.org against the schema and we are also using the 'sun multi
schema validator' from
http://wwws.sun.com/software/xml/developers/multischema/
Both of these don't complain about the schema in it's current form. MSV
makes the following statement about relaxng conformance:
---
This implementation is intended to almost fully implement the spec
(Aug,11,2001 version) except the followings:
* recursive self reference check is performed after notAllowed is
expanded. Therefore MSV fails to catch some of the error. (section 4.18
of the spec.)
---
I'm quite confortable with that...
