Re: Parsing a MODS-document with validation fails

I tested the same thing with DOMBuilder.  It shows two attributes with the same name on the same element.

name: type
value: simple

name: type
value: personal

My guess is in Thomas' sample code it's the transform action that did the ns0 addition.

JDOM doesn't error out when it sees this, the code just lets setAttribute() overwrite any previous assignments.

It seems like the input is technically malformed.  Has there been official advice given on what an object model should do in this case?
