It's come to our attention that although XML Spy accepts this schema as
valid, and validates instances against it as expected, both XSV
(2002/01/11) and Xerces C++ 1.6.0 reject the schema. After pursuing this
issue on xmlschema-dev, I think there _is_ a problem with this version.
For details see my posting
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlschema-dev/2002Mar/0012.html
And the detailed response from Jeni Tennison
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlschema-dev/2002Mar/0013.html
I've put a new version which incorporates a correction along the lines
of Jeni's last suggestion at
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/dcxml/xmls/simpledc20020305.xsd
This version also includes (at Andy Powell's suggestion) DC metadata
about the schema (in RDF), using the xs:appinfo element.
So, in short, apologies for the error and please refer to this version
rather than the original cited in Stu's message.
Thanks
Pete
