Using local element declarations for the children of the employee element
<![CDATA[
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<schema xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace = "http://www.rntsoft.com/employees"
xmlns:cust = "http://www.rntsoft.com/employees">
<element name = "employee" type = "cust:employeeType" />
<complexType name = "employeeType">
<sequence>
<element name = "FirstName" type = "string" />
<element name = "MiddleInitial" type = "string" />
<element name = "LastName" type = "string" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
The following will not work in an instance document,
because we are only expected to qualify globally declared elements and attributes.
<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
<employee xmlns = "http://www.rntsoft.com/employees">
<FirstName>Ray</FirstName>
<MiddleInitial>G</MiddleInitial>
<LastName>Bayliss</LastName>
</employee>
The proper way of showing this in a document is:
<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
<cust:employee xmlns:cust = "http://www.rntsoft.com/employees">
<FirstName>first</FirstName>
<MiddleInitial>middle</MiddleInitial>
<LastName>last</LastName>
</cust:employee>
