Hello, Adrian:

Thanks for the confirmation.

The workaround suffices.

Were a variant technique to be considered, and implicit association were "sticky", then explicit associations would be additive. However, such augmentation might still allow dueling (XML Schema) schemata if additional ones were explicitly cited. I am not familiar with XML Schema precedence rules (if such exist).

BTW, the option "Process namespaces through URI mappings for XML Schema" does no affect XML instances, only XML schemas.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Enabling implicit association causes an instance document to have implicit validation and schema-driven editing to occur (my desired outcome for instance documents in "well-known" namespaces — I deliberately avoid xsi:schemaLocation in order to exploit this feature and to avoid stale|incorrect|unreliable references to local and non-local resources).

Regards,

Gary

Hi Gary,

Oxygen treats the schema determined from the namespace of the root element (namespace resolved through the XML catalogs as an URI) as a fallback schema association (implicit), if no explicit schema associations are present.
An xml-model PI is explicit and thus overrides this fallback schema association. It's impossible to tell if the xml-model PIs complement or override the implicit schema (just from the PI declaration), so it was decided to always override it.

I see you have already found the workaround, it may seem superfluous, but right now if you make one explicit association, you also need to specify the one that was implicit.
I've submitted a request on our issue tracking tool to discuss if/how we should allow the implicit association to stick.

BTW, the option "Process namespaces through URI mappings for XML Schema" does no affect XML instances, only XML schemas.

Hello:

I have found that a document that used namespace-implicit XML Catalog driven XML Schema validation (via the "Process namespaces through URI mappings for XML Schema" in XML Catalog preferences) works as expected until an xml-model processing instruction for an additional (Schematron) schema is added to the document. After the addition, the XML Schema based on the document's namespace is no longer applied. Removing the xml-model PI restores the implicit XML Schema validation.

This can be avoided by adding a (seemingly superfluous) additional xml-model PI for the XML Schema citing the document's namespace in its href pseudo-attribute.

Is this the expected behavior? I had expected the namespace URI mapping to implicitly associate the XML schema and the xml-model PI to explicitly augment this.

Regards,

Gary
