Since 2nd edition of XML from 2000 validating processor is not required
to report validation errors:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#proc-types

"Validating processors must, ***at user option***, report violations of
the constraints expressed by the declarations in the DTD, and failures
to fulfill the validity constraints given in this specification."
