[jats-list] Re: Validating a JATS document with xmllint and the XSD schema

[Alf Eaton <eaton.alf@xxxxxxxxx>]

For reference, I was able to solve my problem (which was actually a
problem in xmllint/libxml) by commenting out a line of the MathML XSD
file (for the CrossRef validation it was MathML3, which gave a
similar, but different, error).
