bug#4067: nxml-mode missed invalid element in document

[Neal Lester]

In my rnc schema file, I have an element "paragraph" defined as:

paragraph = element import:paragraph { palette?, (text | (english,
relevance?)) }

palette = attribute palette { text }

english = element import:english { text }

relevance = element import:relevance { always | (if_exposure |
not_exposure | if_exposure_code | code_equal_or_less_than |
code_equal_or_greater_than | in_state | employees_in_state |
max_employees_in_state | if_exposure_universe | not_exposure_universe |
or | and | eiffel | is_required | not_is_required | not_in_state )+ }


In my document I had empty "paragraph" elements but nxml-mode did not
identify the document as invalid.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

To ensure that we're looking at the same problem, do you have a complete
test case, starting from "emacs -Q"?  That is, the rnc schema file and
the XML file that nxml mode does the wrong thing with?

Thanks, but without an example XML file that reproduces the problem,
it's going to be more difficult to debug.

It's unfortunate that this didn't receive more attention at the time,
but it sounds like we won't make any progress here now, so I'm closing
this bug report.
