FWIW, there has been some discussion of these problems on the W3D =
forums:

http://www.web3d.org/message_boards/viewtopic.php?t=6&sid=c36967dc198=
4ad43f8c40e4e11a885b7

But I don't see a way for non-members to contribute to that dicussion.

this points to: 

  http://www.web3d.org/specifications/x3d-3.0.xsd

for the actual XML Schema

I just ran it through oXygen again
[which uses the apache parser/validator "under the hood"]
and I still get more than 40 errors
[some looking just like the errors pointed out by a number of us
 several times over the past long while]

the Schema seems to still be an "afterthought"
[the last modification date on it seems to be DEC of 2003]

error messages follow below
