Your schemas use http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd , which in turn uses xs:language which uses to reference [RFC 1766] and now references [RFC 3066] In XML-1.0 we dropped any test of the values of xml:lang because in practice this didn't worked well (because the set changes and this does not change the resulting data being provided to the application) I can't say I will have time to update the libxml2 XSD datatype to reflect the new RFC reference, if someone wants to do it, go ahead !
