Urgent - Question on ids for schema components

[Kiran BV <bv...@hotmail.com>]

Posting the question again. Can anyone help on this matter.
Thanks
Kiran


I had a question on  id handling in xerces.

For eg. if I have schema A.xsd

<xsd:schema id="ABC">
  <xsd:include schemaLocation="B.xsd">
  <xsd:element name="x" type="xsd:string">
</xsd:schema>

schema B.xsd

<xsd:schema id="ABC">     //HERE ABC value is repeated as a id
</xsd:schema>

If we look A.xsd as standalone XML having a id attribute it is unique. 
However if I parse A.xsd, I get an error in B.xsd saying the id attribute is 
duplicated.
Strangely the schema spec is silent on this. Looks like the xerces schema 
parser checks ids in totality including 'includes' and 'imports'. What is 
the correct behaviour. Should this resort to a single document with an id 
like XML or consider the include and import set for id uniqueness.

Appreciate your help
Thanks
Kiran
