using local element declarations for the children of the employee element

<?xml version = "1.0"?> 
<schema xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        targetNamespace = "http://www.java2s.com/employees"
        xmlns:cust = "http://www.java2s.com/employees">
   
   <element name = "employee" type = "cust:employeeType" />
   
   <complexType name = "employeeType">
      <sequence>
         <element name = "FirstName" type = "string" />
         <element name = "MiddleInitial" type = "string" />
         <element name = "LastName" type = "string" />
      </sequence>
   </complexType>
   
</schema>

The following will not work in an instance document, 
because we are only expected to qualify globally declared elements and attributes.

<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
<employee xmlns = "http://www.java2s.com/employees">
   <FirstName>Ray</FirstName>
   <MiddleInitial>G</MiddleInitial>
   <LastName>Bayliss</LastName>
</employee>

The proper way of showing this in a document is: 

<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
<cust:employee xmlns:cust = "http://www.java2s.com/employees">
   <FirstName>first</FirstName>
   <MiddleInitial>middle</MiddleInitial>
   <LastName>last</LastName>
</cust:employee>
