Xerces does support the 'any' tag and the error that it has thrown seems good.
In the schema file you said, processContents="skip" and namespace defaults to
"##any" for 'any' element. This means in the instance file you can have, any
well-formed XML from any namespace for 'any' element declaration. Body content
for this element won't be validated, but, there has to be a namespace from where
these elements are coming.
So, your instance file should go something like this:
<Question>
<Text>
This is<Font color=blue xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> the</Font>
text for Question 1.
</Text>
<Answer>...</Answer>
</Question>
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Rahul.
