Thanks, I am glad you enjoy it :-).

I confirm there is a bug in 3.1.0 that it triggered by this schema
in the file-per-type mode. It was also already fixed for the upcoming
3.1.1. If you would like to verify this on your schema or if you need
the fix, here are the recent pre-release binaries for Windows and 
GNU/Linux:

Thanks, we appreciate bug reports very much!
