Can't figure out why this GPX-file doesn't validate...

[Rinus Luijmes]

I'm collection GPS-waypoints in the GPX-format (http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp) which is XML.
This example file validates in XMLSpy:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.1" creator="XMLSpy 2005" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1">
<wpt lat="-16.81233333" lon="-67.84916667">
<name>HAYRA</name>
<desc>Cerro Hayra Kkollu</desc>
</wpt>
</gpx>

In the documentation of the GPX-format I found that one can add an elevation-value <ele>...</ele> to the waypoint (see: http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/index.htm#type_wptType), but when I do,like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.1" creator="XMLSpy 2005" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1">
<wpt lat="-16.81233333" lon="-67.84916667">
<name>HAYRA</name>
<desc>Cerro Hayra Kkollu</desc>
<ele>3704</ele>
</wpt>
</gpx>

It doesn't validate! XMLSpy gives this error: "Unexpected element 'ele' in element 'wpt'. Expected: src, link, sym, type, fix, sat, hdop, vdop, pdop, ageofdgpsdata, dgpsid, extensions". I can't figure out what is wrong here, maybe you gurus know what is wrong here??

TIA!

Rinus.

The elements are in the wrong order. Follow the order listed in the
documentation and schema, ie, <ele> comes before <name> and <desc>.
