Docs in the wiki should be up to date. Do you encounter anything that's 
outdated?

That probably comes from this validation in officecfg/util/data_val.xsl:


         <xsl:if test="not ($context)">
             <xsl:message terminate="yes">ERROR: Node '<xsl:value-of 
select="$path"/>' does not exist in schema!</xsl:message>
         </xsl:if>


Removing it might help to circumvent the build failure, but would only 
hide some underlying problem and might result in other problems later.

Did you try whether a `make distclean` and fresh build from unmodified 
git master makes any difference?
