 ## Schema and Grammar Support
 
 TypesXML supports three grammar types with different capabilities:
 
 - **DTD**: Full validation when `setValidating(true)` is enabled. Default attributes merge automatically regardless of validation mode.
 - **RelaxNG**: Default attributes are extracted and merged during parsing. No validation—defaults only.
-- **XML Schema**: Default attributes are extracted and merged during parsing. No validation—defaults only.
+- **XML Schema**: Full validation when `setValidating(true)` is enabled, passing 95.8% of the W3C XML Schema Test Suite (2006 edition). Default attributes are also extracted and merged during parsing regardless of validation mode.
 
 All grammars are loaded automatically when referenced in XML documents (via DOCTYPE, `xsi:schemaLocation`, or processing instructions) and resolved through the catalog if configured. Use `parser.processedSchemaLocations` and `parser.processedNamespaces` to confirm which grammars loaded successfully.

 - **Common pitfalls**
   - Catalogs: `Catalog` constructor needs an absolute filesystem path before parsing starts. Use `resolve(process.cwd(), "catalog/catalog.xml")` or similar.
   - Handlers: implement every `ContentHandler` method or the parser will throw; empty bodies are acceptable.
   - Streams: `parseStream()` returns a promise—await it and handle rejections.
   - DOM access: `DOMBuilder#getDocument()` can be `undefined` until parsing succeeds. Always check before accessing.
   - DOM navigation: `getChildren()` returns elements only; use `getContent()` for mixed content including text nodes.
-  - Schema validation: Only DTD validation is enforced by `setValidating(true)`. RelaxNG and XML Schema provide default attributes only.
+  - Schema validation: `setValidating(true)` enforces both DTD and XML Schema 1.0 validation. RelaxNG provides default attributes only—no validation.
   - JSON reserved keys: `_attributes`, `_text`, `_cdata`, `_comments`, `_processingInstructions`, `_content` are reserved for structural metadata.
   - Parse method selection: Use `parseFile` for local files, `parseString` for in-memory XML, `parseStream` for network/large files.
 
 - **Suggested response snippets**
   - Catalog setup: "Resolve external DTDs with `new Catalog(resolve(process.cwd(), "catalog/catalog.xml"))` and pass it to `parser.setCatalog` before parsing."
-  - Validation toggle: "Call `parser.setValidating(true)` to enforce DTD rules; defaults merge even when validation is off."
-  - Schema defaults: "RelaxNG and XML Schema grammars automatically load for default attributes when referenced in your XML, resolved via catalog if configured. Only DTD supports full validation."

   - Streaming advice: "Implement a full `ContentHandler` and use `await parser.parseStream(stream)` for incremental processing. For network sources, pass the response stream directly."
   - JSON conversion: "Use `xmlStringToJsonObject(xml, { mode: "roundtrip" })` for lossless edits, or the default mode for lightweight payloads."
   - DOM traversal: "After parsing, use `doc.getRoot()?.getChildren()` to iterate elements, `getChild(name)` to find specific children, and `getAttribute(name)?.getValue()` for attributes."
