The schema has some minor variations from the specs. All principles are
respected in general, but some details like element order are not
specified in the specs but enforced in the schema.

We have modified Heartsome's XLIFF Editor to become fully XLIFF 1.1
enabled. The changes include validating XLIFF documents against all the
schemas that are needed to support XLIFF 1.1. Notice that the files must
be validated against xliff-core-1.1.xsd and several complementary
schemas that are imported at parsing time. 

If you send me your file, I'll check it with the new XLIFF Editor and
tell you if there is anything wrong.

Regards,
Rodolfo
