I don't think it's *absolutely necessary* for attributes to be namespace qualified (i.e they can validly be in null namespace), when participating in XML schema validation. They follow same rules as XML elements for namespace qualification, and it's controlled by instruction attributeFormDefault (which has a default value of "unqualified") in a schema document. But to have XML attributes in non null namespace, I think their schema definitions must be imported (in 1.0 mode) from another schema (via xs:import). -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi
