That I certainly had no intention to do. Since it appearantly sounded 
that way, thanks for pointing it out.

My answer to Jeremie wasn't meant as a definite solution for the 
particular problem that he was having. Rather, it was a general 
statement that the support for XML Schemas isn't complete and its use 
asks for caution. One should expect problems.

Regardless whether libxml can handle Jeremie's particular fragment now, 
it is possible that his schema evolves into something libxml won't 
handle. If this comes up later, when he spends resources to build 
something that now depends on libxml, then he will be a lot less happy 
than he is now.

Ciao,
