The Internet media type system doesn't have a general concept of validity, so I'm uncomfortable linking XML Schema validity to format-specific constraints in this manner; implementations may interpret them in different ways, causing interoperability problems. A safer approach would be to stay silent on the relationship between schema validity and media types, and forcing any errors to the application level.
