I'm not so firm with libxml2's XML Schema implementation, not sure what that
means exactly. Is it the only error you get in the log?

You can check if "xmllint" (which is the command line tool that comes with
libxml2) produces the same error. It is actually unlikely that this is an lxml
problem, so this would tell you if libxml2 really thinks that your file is
invalid. In that case, you can ask on the libxml2 mailing list instead.

Maybe you can also check with a different tool, that might give you more hints
on what is wrong here.
