Hi,

I’m upgrading a project from lxml 5.4.0 to the newly released lxml 6.0.0 and
encountering an unexpected XMLSchemaParseError. I’ve distilled the problem into
a minimal, self-contained example and uploaded it as a GitHub gist:
https://gist.github.com/AustinMatherne/533a4b6a31a63e11bfd8c09c03c05183
* The same XML and XSD files parse and schema validate cleanly with lxml 5.4.0.
* With lxml 6.0.0, calling XMLSchema() raises an XMLSchemaParseError with no
obvious culprit.
Is this a bug in libxml, lxml, or am I doing something unsupported with the API?
So, I added a print(system_url) to your resolver and where the working
version downloads a whole pack of schema files transitively, the failing
version only gives the following output:
"""
READ http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd
READ http://www.xbrl.org/2013/inlineXBRL/xhtml-inlinexbrl-1_1-modules.xsd

First of all, I highly recommend setting up XML catalogues on your system
to avoid downloading the schemas over and over again. It's really a lot of
useless network back and forth, server usage, waiting time etc. going on
here that can be avoided entirely by installing local copies of the
schemas. libxml2 will search the usual system directories automatically
when asked to use a schema and thus avoid any network traffic.
Then, it seems to fail immediately at the first included schema file, at a
suspicious position of 37 characters, which is right after the XML
declaration. That hints more at something going wrong in libxml2 than lxml
but is so surprisingly obviously not working that it's unlikely to go
undetected in libxml2 releases. I recommend bringing this to the attention
of the libxml2 developers.
