[xsl] The content of a mixed complexType must not be empty (!?)

[Thomas Brand <brand@xxxxxxxxx>]

hello dear reader,

i have a problem with a mixed complex type. in the schema, the type is 
defined as follows:
-----------------------------
                <xs:complexType name="typeTd" mixed="true">
                        <xs:attribute name="align" type="typeColumnAlign" 
use="optional"/>
                        <xs:attribute name="valign" type="typeColumnAlign" 
use="optional"/>
                        <xs:attribute name="nowrap" type="xs:string" 
use="optional"/>
                        <xs:attribute name="class" type="xs:string" 
use="optional"/>
                        <xs:attribute name="rowspan" type="xs:integer" 
use="optional"/>
                        <xs:attribute name="colspan" type="xs:integer" 
use="optional"/>
                </xs:complexType>

-----------------------------

the relevant part in the instance doc would be i.e.:

 <agml:td class="text" align="left">24-Mai-2003</agml:td>

when trying to use the schema, the parser gives a schema error:

-----------------------------
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Schema error: ComplexType 'typeTd': Type 
'typeTd': The content of a mixed complexType must not be empty.
        at 
org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:1158)
        at

        at

        at 
org.apache.xerces.validators.schema.TraverseSchema.handleComplexTypeError(TraverseSchema.java:3561)
        at
etc.
-----------------------------

when i remove the 'mixed="true"' attribute, the parser doesn't indicate an 
error, but the instance doc ist not valid -> parser says: the content of 
element td (which is of type typeTd) must match "EMPTY".

any help on mixed complex types appreciated! i read somewhere, that mixed 
content elements "can be especially difficult to specify". is there also a 
different interpretation of the main parsers? i.e. xml spy doesn't indicate 
an error, i guess spy is quite "tolerant".

greets,
 Thomas Brand
