Michael,
Thanks for your reply. The XSD does not allow mixed content. Attached is my
test Java code, test xml and test xsd for your reference.
Also included below is the run log for Xerces parser and for a Sun parser.
When it runs with the Xerces parser, the whitespaces are reported in the
cha
ignorableWhitespace() was only defined for use with DTDs. Sun's
implementation may be doing something for XSD but there's nothing in the
specification which requires that. Xerces is behaving correctly.

Hmm. Why does it distinguish between DTD and XSD? They are all schema
definitions!
It is useful to be able to distinguish between ignorable whitespaces and

The specification you are quoting from is only concerned with DTDs. See
the definition of validating XML processors here [1].
If XSD wanted something similar it would need to set the [element content
whitespace] boolean property [2] to true on character information items,
but there's nothing in
