[XMLnewbie]

I am completely new to XML and I have been provided an XML doc from my vendor. This is used to load my system data into their platform. The problem is that they do not provide a XSD which I can use with a mapping program to create a form like their XML.
I have able to get almost an identical xml structure to theirs with the exception of a status tag. Since these are data load there will be new records and updated records.
The following is the example of their XML:
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<BusinessObject status="new">"


I can not seem to create the Status="new" in my Xml using the XSD that I created. This is the XSD


"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="unqualified" attributeFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="BusinessObject">"

Can anyone tell me what I am missing for the XSD that will produce the Status new line?

thank you
