Hi Mark,

Well, the following schemas plus instance are valid(Xerces 2.6.2). I do 
not know what SCHEMA_SOURCE contains in your code line:

parser.setProperty(SCHEMA_SOURCE,( InputStream[] ) schemaList.toArray( 
new InputStream[0] ) );

You may try setting a value similar with the one from schemaLocation 
attribute to the 
http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation property.
