during the schema validation process. It decides whether the appearance of
locally-declared attributes in an instance document must be qualified by a
namespace specification. It can be set to the values

version |
xs:token |
This attribute specifies version information. |
For more information about target namespaces and qualification in
xs:schema definitions, see
Advanced Concepts I: Namespaces, Schemas &
Qualification in W3C´s introductory document XML Schema
Part 0: Primer, especially the section
Target Namespaces & Unqualified
Locals.
There are three large examples in the appendix of the Tamino XML Schema User Guide.
