I can't find anything that says this in the spec [1] - do you have a ref?
This would certainly be expected behaviour if the XML wasn't well-formed (no
way of telling what was meant to come next). But Kanimozhi's data is well
formed, and I think it probably should be possible to report more than a
terminatin validation error. I haven't personally done much with XSD
validation, but I'm guessing that even if existing tools don't support full
error reporting then there are at least two (hacky) possibilities - dive
into the parser's source and get rid of all the "System.exit()"s or
whatever; or write a series of schema, separating out the constraints - run
them in different orders (sounds a bit unlikely, but I think it might just
work).

Cheers,
Danny.
