Yeah, a known problem.

It is valid, but there's another issue with the "live from wiki"  
version...it entities all the ampersand, e.g.,

	<!ENTITY PN_CHARS_U    "&amp;PN_CHARS_BASE;|_">

Which, obviously, breaks that use of entities.

If you cut and paste the text of the schema as it's rendered in a  
browser, it works fine and it validates the example.

For your convenience, I've put a clean, working copy of the schema here:
	http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~bparsia/owl/owlxml.xsd
and here's the spec example with schemaLocation pointing to the clean  
schema:
	http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~bparsia/owl/specExample.xml

Hope this help.s
Cheers,
Bijan.
