Patrick,

As requested I have attached two samples one that works and one that
does not work but should.

I have attached two files that are the same with the exception of the
"osis:" prefix in <osis:osis> and
xmlns="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace" vs
xmlns:osis=http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace.

It should be valid to use <osis> with a default namespace of
xmlns=http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace but it does
not validate.  

In osisCore.1.5.xsd we had the namespace and we had the requirement that
elements had to be qualified.  The strange thing is that we did not
change anything from osisCore.1.5.xsd to osisCore.1.9.xsd that should
impact this.

Todd
