Description

When validating an 1.1 XML Schema:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="root">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="e1" type="xs:integer"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="kind" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:alternative test="@kind='string'" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

The error message is:

e-props-correct.7: Type alternative 'string' is not xs:error or is not validly derived from the type definition, 'null', of element 'root'.

Maybe the "null" could be replace with something like "anonymous" in this case.
