Re: Xerces not reporting validation errors ?

Hallo Ed,

What makes you think XMLSpy is correct? Element
CommutingExpensesDaysPerWeekCount is defined by:

http://www.xbrl.org/2003/xbrl-instance-2003-12-31.xsd

<attributeGroup name="numericItemAttrs">
    <annotation>
      <documentation>
      Group of attributes for non-fractional numeric items
      </documentation>
    </annotation>
    <attributeGroup ref="xbrli:essentialNumericItemAttrs" />
    <attribute name="precision" type="xbrli:precisionType" use="optional"
/> <-- OPTIONAL!
    <attribute name="decimals" type="xbrli:decimalsType" use="optional"
/> <-- OPTIONAL!
  </attributeGroup>
It seems to me the attributes are indeed optional. Maybe XMLSpy is using a
different version of the XBRL schemas?
