Hi,

So it seems that according to xerces-c 2.5.0 W3's XMLSchema.xsd is not a
valid XML Schema instance. Any clues are appreciated.

It is not a valid schema in the general sense. There are explicit allowances the the specs make for the schema for schema . As Alby says, there are also many many more constraints. The load grammar call will go some way to saying if a schema is valid, although xerces makes no commitment to guaranteeing that a schema is valid. If you want to know that then you need to use a tool such as SQC. You will see that it is very slow as there is a vast amount to check. In fact, for some schemas that I have worked on for a client, it took several days to run!!!
