My guess, the schema has a default value of "simple" for the "type" attribute... xerces adds default attributes when validating. Haven't found a way of suppressing this feature.

 Hi All,
 
 Sorry to have another question. This time I did look at the FAQ (both of
 JDOM and of Xerces). I've got a question that may be more related tot
 Xercers/SAX than JDOM, but I hope you can help me with it.
 As soon as I parse an XML document using the apache xalan parser with
 the SAX API, elements that do not have attributes automatically get the
 attribute type with the value simple. I don't want this. Any idea why
 this happens and how I can prevent it from happening?
 
 Code example:
 builder=SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser")
 handelaar=myErrorHandler()
 builder.setErrorHandler(handelaar)
 builder.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",1)
 builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",1)
 doc=builder.build(sys.argv[1])
 nsgml=Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.opengis.net/gml")
 nsows=Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.opengis.net/ows1.2")
 print doc.getRootElement().getChild("featureMember",nsgml).getAttributes()
 
 
 This outputs:
 [[Attribute: type="simple"]]
 
 
 
 The original XML file is in the attachment again.
