I just tried to create an instance in XML Spy and the software could not
find the types unless the types were prefixed (as they were in
0p65). Since 0p70 uses a common reusable included file of declarations,
these declarations cannot have prefixed type names because every document
type uses the declarations.
So, I can understand if people are using XML Spy to test these schemas that
the target namespaces were removed ... but I thought we needed them in
there to distinguish the vocabularies.
As I said, MSV works just fine without prefixing the type names.
My gut feel is that MSV is correct and XML Spy is incorrect because looking
at examples in XML Schema books I don't see why the types need to be prefixed.
Can anyone shed light on this?
Thanks!
