Thanks for your reply. I don't think an incorrect targetNamespace is the
problem. The XML file starts with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
<MyConference
xmlns="http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/user/David.W.Walker/MyConferences">

and the Schema starts with:

<xs:schema
targetNamespace="http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/user/David.W.Walker/MyConferences"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
xmlns:mc="http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/user/David.W.Walker/MyConferences"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Regards

David
