How did it fail?

Are you using Altova's XSLT processor by any chance? This appears to use the
presence of xsi:schemaLocation as a signal to perform schema validation.
When I last looked, I couldn't find any way of overriding this behaviour.

How did it fail when you added the xsl:import-schema?

<xsl:template name="paragraph" match="para">

In your source XML document, para is in a namespace so this rule won't match
anything. That's true regardless whether you validate against the schema or
not. But perhaps when you tried without the xsi:schemaLocation, you removed
the default namespace declaration as well? In which case this is just the
standard old elephant trap of matching elements in the default namespace,
and nothing to do with schemas at all.
