One qualification:

elementFormDefault and attributFormDefault settings apply only to locally
declared elements and attributes. They do not affect global declarations.

Hi Terry,

The use of the attributes "elementFormDefault" and "attributeFormDefault" is
described in the XML Schema
primer:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/

By default schemas assume that documents constrained by them will not have
elements and attributes qualified by namespaces.
In the root of your schema setting the following values for these
attributes:

elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="qualified"

States that all attributes and elements in a document constrained by the
Schema will be qualified by associating a namespace
with them. Failure to do this will result in the document being found to be
invalid.
Incidentally the namespace specification does not support associating
default namespaces with attributes.

At least thats my understanding of it.....
Hope this helps.

Mat
