ok, I looked over the xmlschemas.c and found this:

xmlschemas.c/xmlSchemaValidateType():
...
5416    if ((elem->content == NULL) || (type == NULL) || (elemDecl == NULL))
5417        return(0);
...

I removed the part '(elem->content == NULL)' for testing and the validation
worked as expected (without need xml file to be reparsed):

xmlschemas.c/xmlSchemaValidateType():
...
5416    if ((type == NULL) || (elemDecl == NULL))
5417        return(0);
...

But, I don't know which functionality will be affected by removing this item,
I assume this was there because of a good reason.

On other hand, as I could see, schema validation don't really need line numbers,
(only to point out the faulty line in an error message)
so I think it wouldn't be dangerous to remove this content-comparison.

But maybe do you have a better idea ?

best Regards,
Peter
