At least the schema needs this. For my purposes, your hint that 
'processContents' *defaults* to 'strict' gave me the solution, I changed 
it to 'skip' and now the thing validates. Thanks!

I am validating the OAI-PMH envelopes (as part of some test cases for 
OAI-PMH server code I'm writing), not the metadata payload, so I'm fine 
not having any schema assembling take place, at least for now.

I've taken note of this example as something I might want to support 
with lxml one day. I think for now I know enough to make progress; 
luckily I can control the schema in my test cases and disable the strict 
checking.
