Another bug report :) ...
I downloaded the file at http://lccn.loc.gov/85753651/dc but oXygen tells me
[SystemID:
Severity: error

Message:schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/dc-schema.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2) the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.
Additional: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#schema_reference]
Looks like http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/zing/srw/dc-schema.xsd is not found.
Cheers,
Al
