Min Name lengths

I keep getting this error message:

The 'AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd:name' element is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'String' - The actual length is less than the MinLength value.

E00003

I know there are maximum character string lengths, where would I find out about minimum string lengths?

@cannuck1964 -- The XSD contains that information:

https://api.authorize.net/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd

Also, we only set minLength for required fields. Our API Reference flags required elements, so you should be able to work from the API Reference instead of the raw XSD.

While there are a few elements called "name" in our XML API, the main one is in merchantAuthentication, and is always required in every context, so I'd check there first.
