Attributes missing after XSD validation!

Question

I'm feeding a very simple XML file into an equally simple XSD validator. When it returns, all of my tags are fine, but the attributes are dropped. If I parse the file directly, without validation, the attributes are fine.
I've posted my files online at http://www.pastie.org/507569
Am I doing something wrong here? Is this a bug in my JRE (1.6.0r14)?
Thanks for any help,
Norman

XML
<config blah="5">hello!</config>
XSD
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> 
     <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd" />
  <xs:element name="config">
   <xs:complexType>
    <xs:simpleContent>
     <xs:extension base="xs:string">
      <xs:attribute name="blah" type="xs:string"/>
     </xs:extension>
    </xs:simpleContent>
   </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>
My code...
SchemaFactory schema_factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
Schema schema = schema_factory.newSchema(new File("test.xsd"));
StreamSource xml_source = new StreamSource(new File("test.xml"));
StringWriter xml_bridge = new StringWriter();
StreamResult xml_result = new StreamResult(xml_bridge);
Validator validator = schema.newValidator();
validator.validate(xml_source, xml_result);
System.out.println("Validated to: " + xml_bridge.toString());
Result...
Validated to: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><config>hello!</config>
