The SAML standard disallows empty strings by default. So it's an error, not a warning. A fully correct schema would have had to subtype string and then impose a facet to require a character. And that doesn't even work because of whitespace. So it wasn't done. Schema validity is not sufficient to ensure SAML validity.
