schema attached to a word document unavilable on transport

AFAIK, the only reliable URL for the WordprocessingML schemas is http://rep.oio.dk/microsoft.com/officeschemas/xsds/WordprocessingML_Schemas/office.xsd.

The following validates using MSXML 4.0:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?mso-application progid="Word.Document"?>
<w:wordDocument
