....... The above xml instance will be considered valid. However, if we add "eml" to "dataset" and xml will look like: ....... Parser will give an error like: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content starting with element 'eml:dataset'. The content must match '((("":access){0-1},(((("":dataset)|("":citation))|("":software))|("":protocol))),("":additionalMetadata){0-UNBOUNDED})'

Note that the validator message is asserting that the child elements should be unqualified (see the ": at the beginning of each expected element. I suspect this is related to the EML use of the namespace qualification attributes, and so is probably a truly invalid document. One could argue that EML does not use elementFormDefault properly, so maybe that would be a legitimate bug. But I think the parser is correct in this case. See my email to eml-dev on this topic.
