Re: PROV-ISSUE-480: XSD Validator returns schema parser error when reading prov.xsd [XML Serialization]

I committed the change, will change ticket status to 'PENDING REVIEW'.

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/prov/rev/954701ee8fe3

I will close the ticket after I get confirmation from the PROV-XML group that it is validating for everyone.
