relaxng validation of testfiles with xmllint seems faulty

[lb42]

xmllint --valid teisimple.dtd tests/testsimple2.xml # works fine
xmllint --valid --relaxng teisimple.rng tests/testsimple2.xml # sits there like a pudding
jing teisimple.rng tests/testsimple2.xml # works fine
rnv teisimple.rnc tests/testsimple2.xml # works fine

Confirmed. Nothing I try will make xmllint validate this. If we can
figure out what's causing it, we can file a bug.

Things worth checking:

• default attribute values
• normalization form of the document
• missing xml declaration
• anyone think of anything else?

Cheers,
Martin

At the moment, I cannot get xmllint to validate any TEI-based Relax NG or Schematron schema (either this or EpiDoc). I imagine it's a bug in libxml2.

[martindholmes]

When I use xmllint to validate a file against a RelaxNG schema, I get lots of instances of the "RNG internal error trying to compile notAllowed" error the Syd reported over seven years ago:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.lib.xml.general/14409

There don't seem to have been any responses to that. It doesn't seem that RNG is important to the libxml2 team, perhaps.

I was afraid of that; does that leave any method of validating against RNG or Schematron without Java? (I would like to be able to get validation working in a few editors other than Oxygen, but one can hardly ask developers to add such a heavy dependency just for this.)

There's r n v ... It's in c

Strange thing: if you try to validate teisample2.xml against a different rng it will work:

This means there’s something in teisimple.rng that xmllint doesn’t like
