Reject an attribute that has only spaces in schema

Hi.

I'm looking for a way reject an xml document with an attribute
that has whitespace only. This is not so hard when the attribute
is an empty string but the whitespaces has me stumped.

BTW I know very little regular expression syntax.

Thanks.

<xsl:if test="normalize-space(@foo)=''" >

Counter-intuitive, as the normalize-space function condenses multiple
sequential white-space tokens to a single space when they occur between
non-white-space characters, but zaps them completely when they occur in
isolation. It's consistent with the action taken for leading and trailing
multiple white-space, rather than with the action taken on white-space
between words.
BTW I know very little regular expression syntax.


Not needed in this case.

I have an input document that contains a large base64 encoded document. This document also declares a schema location in the root element. I want to write an XSL stylesheet that makes an exact copy (including the namespace and schema location) of the input document except that it removes the base64 encoding and replaces it with the text 'REMOVED'. I have a stylesheet that does just that except that it drops the schemaLocation...

I'm using an XmlValidatingReader to read an XML document and parse it against my schema. While I'm reading each node, I need to determine if the schema allows an ID attribute for the node. The ID is optional so it may not exist in the XML document. Is there a way to determine if the attribute is allowed or not? I can't seem to find any information on this anywhere.

Hi everybody... In Xerces 2.7.0 it is explicitly stated that, no matter how one removes an attribute (attList->removeNamedItem, attList->removeNamedItemNS, domElement->removeAttributeNode, domElement->removeAttribute, domElement->removeAttributeNS), if that attribute has a default value it is immediately replaced. However I cannot obtain that behaviour...
