The error condition that occurs when a path expression such as a/b/c
is used,
and the schema definition for b
does not allow a child named c
, is in most
cases replaced by a warning. This is because it is possible that the source document will have been
validated against a schema containing a complex type derived by extension from the statically-known
type of b
, in which c
is a permitted child. The same applies to attributes.
This also applies to element construction where a child element is constructed whose name is not permitted by the type of the parent element.
