Remarkably, there seems to be nothing in the rules for validity of an
element that says the attributes of the element must be valid against their
declared types!
Validation Rule: Element Locally Valid (Complex Type) says:
3.1 If there is among the {attribute uses} an attribute use with an
{attribute declaration} whose {name} matches the attribute information
item's [local name] and whose {target namespace} is identical to the
attribute information item's [namespace name] (where an �absent� {target
namespace} is taken to be identical to a [namespace name] with no value),
then the attribute information must be �valid� with respect to that
attribute use as per Attribute Locally Valid (Use) (�3.5.4).
But Attribute Locally Valid (Use) (�3.5.4) says very little, in particular
it doesn't say that the attribute's value must be valid according to the
attribute's type.
I suspect there should be a reference to Attribute Locally Valid (�3.2.4)
either in place of, or in addition to, the existing reference. Or perhaps
Attribute Locally Valid (Use) (�3.5.4) should refer to Attribute Locally
Valid (�3.2.4).
