# Changes to Schema Processing

Checking of the Unique Particle Attribute constraint is now done more rigorously. In particular, (a) a violation is now reported in the case where two particles of the form <element ref="foo"/> referring to the same element declaration exist in the same content model (in a position where either could match), and (b) conflicts between two <xs:any> particles, or between an <xs:any> particle and an <xs:element> particle, are now detected.

The `com.saxonica.Validate` command now outputs multiple validation errors in a single run.

The same facility is available when validation is invoked from user applications, provided that the application calls `configuration.validationWarnings(true)`.

The method `getSchemaTypeInfo()` is now available on Saxon nodes in the TinyTree object model. This method is defined in DOM Level 3 to return a `TypeInfo` object, which provides basic information about the type of the node following schema validation. At present Saxon provides a copy of the TypeInfo interface, to avoid introducing a dependency on DOM Level 3 being installed.
