[xsd-users] Default values of elements that use enumerated types

[Tony McConnell]

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I've enclosed a small test case as this is where I think the problem lies.

xmllint is able to validate the t.xml against t.xsd

Yet passing the files into the xerces-c validator (t.cc) gives the same
type of exception I get from my xsd generated parsing code - leading me to
suspect it is not XSD at fault, but xerces-c.

Should libxerces-c be able to validate this?

Thank you

Tony
