Re: [xml] xmllint reports non-determinist content model for schema

[Johan Corveleyn <jcorvel gmail com>]

With the upcoming release in mind, a quick plug for the issue in this
mail-thread (see below for a quick summary). Would anyone be able to
look into this issue, and come up with a fix?

I'm really not familiar with the codebase myself, and with how XML
schema validation works in general, so I'm afraid I can't come up with
a patch myself. All I can do is report the issue as clearly as
possible, and ask :-).

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670865 in Bugzilla.
