Re: [xml] Libxml not catching schema error

["Yong Chen \(yongche\)" <chen cisco com>]

Hi Boris,

Thanks a lot for the response.

But libxml2 doesn't catch the problem even if I change the type of the
first "ifid" to "xs:integer". (with or without "xs:choice" as the parent
of "ifid" elements).

Thanks,
Yong Chen
