Might have been a bug in 2.6.20.
The latest version is 2.6.22, and actually I recommend using the schema
processor as it is in the CVS head.
But I see that the Win32 binaries for the last two releases are not
available. If Igor doesn't wake up until the 4th of Januar, I'll try to
provide them and will inform you.

Yes, the schema + instance are perfectly valid.
But beware of XMLSpy's schema processor. I recommend using the latest Xerces
schema processor as a reference validator.

xmllint uses xmlSchemaValidateDoc() as well, so I don't know what exactly
causes this effect on your side. You could look into the source of xmllint
and compare your validation code with it. Be sure that xmllint and your app
use the same libxml2.DLL; i.e. it might be the case that xmllint or your app
use an older DLL. Scan your drive for multiple libxml2.DLLs.
