17.15.1.43 doNotValidateAgainstSchema

This element specifies that applications shall not validate the custom XML markup in this document against the applicable custom XML schema(s), even when those schemas are available. The application should silently behave as if it was unable to provide this functionality.

If this element is omitted, then applications which support this functionality should attempt to validate the custom XML contents against any available related custom XML schema(s).

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document which should not have its custom XML content validated even by applications which support this operation. This requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings:

<w:doNotValidateAgainstSchema w:val="true" />

The doNotValidateAgainstSchema element’s val attribute has a value of true specifying that the custom XML markup in this document must not be validated. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
