Hi Mark, There's an error message that you're probably ignoring which would be complaining about not being able to resolve "wp:WayptType". When a type definition cannot be found Xerces recovers from this error by assigning xs:anyType as the type of the element. You do have an import in the first schema document but it has no schema location hint (e.g. schemaLocation="file:///some/uri). Therefore the schema loader would have no idea where to find the other schema document unless you register an entity resolver that knows how to locate it based on the namespace "http://www.grs.com/WayptSchema";.
Thanks.
