Remove the DTDs and you can successfully schema-validate your doc at
Henry Thompson's online validator, xsv
(http://www.w3.org/2000/06/webdata/xsv). I carefully swapped two of the
book elements round in your sample doc, and xsv gave me the following
message:
-----------------------------------------------
Problems with the schema-validity of the target
http://www.workspot.net/~roundand/xml/s.xml:9:17: Invalid per
cvc-complex-type.1.2.4: element {None}:Publisher not allowed here in
element {None}:Book:
http://www.workspot.net/~roundand/xml/s.xml:11:9: Invalid per
cvc-complex-type.1.2.4: content of Book is not allowed to end here:
-----------------------------------------------
Which I take to mean that using elementFormDefault="unqualified" simply
says that schema definitions apply to elements in the "" namespace,
referred to as "{none}" in the above error message. So your document is
totally correct, it's just your suspicion that unqualified elements
wouldn't be validated that's unfounded!
