Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XERCESC-1197
    Summary: Validation of anyType elements fail when XML attributes present
       Type: Bug

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Major
 Resolution: FIXED

    Project: Xerces-C++
 Components: 
             Validating Parser (Schema) (Xerces 1.5 or up only)
   Versions:
             2.5.0

Environment: Bug present on at least Windows XP, Solaris 2.8, and RH Linux 7/9

Description:
2.5 (and pretty much any other version) doesn't permit arbitrary XML
attributes to show up on an element declared as anyType.

This is incorrect behavior, as far as I understand it.

The interesting (and really weird) thing is that if you derive your own type from anyType and add nothing, that new type *does* permit arbitrary attributes to show up.

Schema snip:
<element name="Thing" type="anyType">

Example that fails validation complaining about Scope attribute:
<Thing Scope="foo">member</Thing>

Schema fix:
<element name="Thing" type="myType">
<complexType name="myType">
    <complexContent>
        <extension base="anyType"/>
    </complexContent>
</complexType>

I'm pretty sure that either both schemas should validate or invalidate that example, but not one yes, one no. And I think the correct behavior is that it should validate in both cases. Xerces-J behaves accordingly.
