nsName exceptNameClass

Description

The nsName name class allows any name in a specific namespace.

Restrictions

Within the scope of an element, the name classes of attributes can’t overlap. The same restriction applies to name classes of elements when these elements are combined by interleave. It is impossible to use nsName to produce empty name classes by including nsName in an except name class included in another nsName.

Example

<element>
  <choice>
    <nsName ns="http://eric.van-der-vlist.com/ns/library"/>
    <nsName ns="http://eric.van-der-vlist.com/ns/person"/>
  </choice>
  <ref name="anything"/>
</element>
<element>
  <nsName ns="http://eric.van-der-vlist.com/ns/person"/>
    <except>
      <name>name</name>
    <except>
  </nsName>
 <ref name="anything"/>
</element>
