fix the api documentation
how are we supposed to develop to the api interface if the docs are wrong or out of date
http://blog.xero.com/developer/api/get-apixro10invoice/
the xsd is invalid (according to my parser line 56 and 57 are back to front
the sample response can not be validated against the supplied xsd, ContactStatus, and InvoiceStatus are not in the xsd
i hate to moan, but it is really frustrating, and i am wasting a lot of time through trial and error to figure things out.
perhaps you could specify the values for ContactStatus and InvoiceStatus and what they mean

Hi,
Thanks for pointing out the error in our XSD – we’ll get this sorted. Please let us know if you find anything else. The quickest way to get help with these sort of issues is to email network@xero.com else it might be a few days before we get to them here.
For sure we can provide more documentation for Contact Status and Invoice Status values. We’ll add some detailed notes on our API reference page shortly. The main statuses for contacts are ACTIVE & DELETED. All invoices entered via the API have an initial status of DRAFT
I’ve updated our documentation on Invoice and Contact Status values in more detail than the summary above.

it has to be set to active, as far as i can remember. it was only good for telling if a contact was active or deleted when you are fetching the contact data. it might pay to wait for API V2, which is due out shortly (i think i read that in the xero blog)
