XHTML 1.1 is back to draft status and is a moving target, which is why some
recent changes may not be in the production validator yet. Could you try with:
http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/

* if the test validator acts OK, all is well - that will be propagated to the
production service soon
* if the test validator has the same problem, can you contact 
www-html-editor@w3.org and send feedback that the XHTML1.1 DTD is out of sync
with the prose requirements for xsi:schemaLocation? That would be very much
appreciated.
