It&#39;s a good idea to use &quot;typed XML&quot; anyway. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danal.com\" class=\"broken_link\">Dan Sullivan<\/a>&nbsp;thought a good non-trivial use-case would be Office 2003 docs and went forth to create SQL Server 2005 XML schema collections from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=101\" class=\"broken_link\">publically available schema documents<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFirst thing he ran into is that specifying processContents=&quot;lax&quot; now causes an error when cataloging the XML schema collection. It used to catalog without error and then use processContents=&quot;skip&quot; behavior instead in beta1. The Office schemas use this construct, so he&#39;s created some code to change it to processContents=&quot;skip&quot; so SQL Server 2005 would &quot;like&quot; it. We&#39;ve run into a couple more cataloging problems, repeated attributes on the same element, etc&#8230; Wonder where you report Office schema problems.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you&#39;re wondering what this is about technically, pulling out my favorite XML Quick Reference (by Aaron and Gudge), they define processContents (on xsd:any or xsd:anyAttribute) as &quot;Specifies whether a schema processor should validate the elements\/attributes appearing in place of the wildcard&quot;. The default is &quot;strict&quot;, meaning validate them. Lax means the schema processor *should* (but is not required to) validate if schema information is available. Skip means a schema processor should not validate these.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBTW guys, when&#39;s Essential XML Quick Reference Volume 2 due out? There *lot&#39;s* more specs now. Maybe you could publish an Essential XML Reference Encyclopedia?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After lots of interesting (but fruitful) experiences with the XQuery engine in SQL Server 2005, I decided that I&#39;d rather have an XML schema collection for everything than put [1] (that&#39;s&nbsp;the numeric predicate&nbsp;meaning &quot;item&nbsp;1 using 1-based ordinals&quot;) everywhere in the XQuery&nbsp;that I needed a singleton.
