Please verify your validation results using the libxml2 included binaries, in this case 'xmllint'. There has been no recent work on the validation pass through, which is the same as saying I do not know if the ruby library has any culpability. Thus, try the xmlsoft tools. http://xmlsoft.org/xmllint.html
