functionality is newly introduced in XML Schema 1.1. Fixed a runtime
validation issue for this XSD clause, when XSD 1.1 implementation is invoked
in XSD 1.0 mode. [Mukul Gandhi]

This release fixes this. [Mukul Gandhi, Michael Glavassevich, Thomas Pasch]

xs:keyref. When certain such schema documents were processed by Xerces-J's XSD
1.1 implementation in XSD 1.0 mode, a java.lang.NullPointerException was
displayed to the user when the schema document is processed with Xerces sample
jaxp.SourceValidator. This release fixes this. [Michael Glavassevich, Mukul
