Re: Cannot create a Schema object for an XSD file with the targetNamespace attribute set on an element

Hello,

that is interesting, I see targetNamespace in the XML-Schema 1.1 spec
for top level elements and attributes.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/

But it is not in the XML Schema.xsd. (only one occurence of
'name="targetNamespace"') on the <schema> element.

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd

BTW: top level elements do require a name="" attribute. You have
specified it on the <simpleType> I think thats not correct.

In your case, can you just use the targetNamespace on the schema
element? This is the most common usage as it cannot be mixed anyway.

Gruss
Bernd
