Knowning nothing about OAI, little about XML Schema, and out of practice
with validation in general, I still attempted to at least validate your
docs.  (It was interesting question in the back of my head of exactly how
to validate some of the XML schema docs, so it was worth it.)

I downloaded oai.xml, oai_dc.xsd, ran xmllint --schema  oai_dc.xsd oai.xml
and got a couple of errors.  They all look like parser errors and not
anything wrong with the schema.  I'm assuming that's because I don't know
what the heck I'm doing in that respect.
