If your XML document contains xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation or
xsi:schemaLocation attributes and the parser's
http://xml.org/sax/features/validation property is true then the parser will
validate against the schema. If not you need to set the parser's
http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation
and/or http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-schemaLocation
properties. See http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/schema.html

With XmlSlurper you can instantiate and configure the parser and then pass
the configured parser to the constructor.
