Hi Daniel and All,

I found out, that the content pointer of xmlNode will not be updated in
xmlNewChild and xmlNodeSetContent, but the XML-Schema validation seems to use it.
Parsing the data the pointer will be set properly, therefore I had have 
to save first and than reparse the data.

Is it an intentional behaviour not updating the content pointer ?

As you wrote above, the schema validation is incomplete, but what is to do:
change the schema code to get the content on other way (then: why set it on parsing)
or modify the tree-Functions to update the content pointer ?

regards,
Peter
