What I mean is that if you do this:

         SchemaFactory factory =
             SchemaFactory.newInstance("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
         File schemaLocation = new File("docbook.xsd");
         Schema schema = factory.newSchema(schemaLocation);

then you will have performed a much more rigorous check on the validity 
of docbook.xsd than you will get by loading it as a source document and 
validating it against XMLSchema.xsd.
