A new option -vw is added to the schema-aware versions of the command
line interfaces for XSLT and XQuery processing, with an equivalent option VALIDATION_WARNINGS
in the Java API. This option causes validation errors encountered in processing a final result
tree to be treated as warnings, allowing processing to continue. This allows more than one error
to be reported in a single run. The result document is serialized as if validation were successful,
but with XML comments inserted to show where the validation errors were found. This option does
not necessarily recover from all validation errors, for example at present it does not recover from
errors in uniqueness or referential constraints. In the case of XSLT it applies only to result trees
validated using the validation attribute of xsl:result-document.
The syntax for declare validation in the Query prolog is replaced by
declare construction, as defined in the July 2004 draft specification. The syntax
for the validate{} expression has also been updated to the latest draft. This removes
the ability to validate any element other than one having a global element declaration in the schema.
DTD-defined attribute types are no longer retained automatically as type annotations in the data model.
They will only be retained if the method setRetainDTDAttributeTypes is called on the
Configuration object. This setting is available only in the schema-aware product, which means
that with the basic product, nodes will always be annotated as untyped or untypedAtomic. ID attributes marked
as such are still recognized for the purposes of the id() function, but they will be annotated as
untypedAtomic.
