>                 Key: XERCESJ-1252
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1252
>             Project: Xerces2-J
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: XML Schema Structures
>    Affects Versions: 2.9.0
>         Environment: XP Home/SP2; jre 1.5.0_11
>            Reporter: Paul V. Biron
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Given this simple schema document:
> <xs:schema
>               xmlns:xs='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'
>               xmlns='urn:test'
>               targetNamespace='urn:test'
>               elementFormDefault='qualified'
>               attributeFormDefault='unqualified'>
>       <xs:element name='root' type='Root'/>
>       <xs:complexType name='Root'>
>               <xs:attribute ref='glob' use='required'/>
>       </xs:complexType>
>       <xs:attribute name='glob' type='xs:string'/>
> </xs:schema>
> and this simple instance:
> <my:root xmlns:my='urn:test' 
> xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
>               xsi:schemaLocation='urn:test globAttr.xsd' glob='foo'/>
> xerces (correctly) reports the following 2 error msgs:
> [Error] globAttr.xml:2:58: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'glob' is not 
> allowed to appear in element 'my:root'.
> [Error] globAttr.xml:2:58: cvc-complex-type.4: Attribute 'glob' must appear 
> on element 'my:root'.
> While this is correct (@glob should be qualified) you can imagine who those 
> msgs would confuse a novice.  It's not worth spending a lot of time improving 
> the error messages, but if you can do it quickly it would probably help the 
> uninitiated (suggestion: just prefix 'glob' in the 2nd message...but that 
> might make it harder to understand in other circumstances).
