        Sorry Daniel, 
        a different example about validation and post validation.


--- begin "a.xml" ---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "a.dtd">
<root ns:attr="1"/>
--- end "a.xml" ---

--- begin "b.xml" ---
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root ns:attr="1"/>
--- end "b.xml" ---

--- begin "a.dtd" ---
<!ELEMENT root EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST root
          xmlns:ns CDATA #FIXED "http://foo-dtd.org";
          ns:attr CDATA #IMPLIED>
--- end "a.dtd" ---

        When i use 'xmllint' to verify the validity of "a.xml" against
"a.dtd" implicitly ("--valid") or explicitly ("--dtdvalid a.dtd"), all
goes well: "a.xml" result valid.

        But when i verify the validity of "b.xml" explicitly against
"a.dtd" ("--dtdvalid a.dtd"), i obtain the following error:

--- begin output ---
<root ns:attr="1"/>
                 ^
b.xml:2: element root: validity error : No declaration for attribute 
attr of element root
Document b.xml does not validate against a.dtd
--- end output ---


        I suppose this is a bug (i'm wrong?) so i have inserted bug
445790 in bugzilla.
