Description Sandy Gao 2011-10-05 14:54:15 UTC 
Test: over015.v01.xml
Schema: Override/over015.xsd
XML: Override/over015.v01.xml
Expected validity: valid

Attribute "nota" is declared as having type xs:NOTATION. The attribute appears in the XML file with a value "foo". This violates rule "enumeration facet value required for NOTATION".

This can be fixed by declaring attribute "nota" as having a type derived from xs:NOTATION by specifying enumeration values "foo" and "bar"

An alternative is to
- change "nota" to an element declaration
- add a global simple type "notaType" that restricts xs:NOTATION by specifying enumeration values "foo" and "bar"
- add an xsi:type attribute on <nota> element to point to "notaType"

This latter set of changes also test the clarification that it's OK to declare an element/attribute to have type xs:NOTATION (not a schema error), but it's not OK to use NOTATION to validate a value (a runtime error).

Fixed, along the lines suggested.
