Sorry for the delay in replying, it's been a while since I looked at this.

The problem I was seeing with xmllint was spurious error messages if the 
docbook file was incorrect. There's a docbook file here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/865332/Errors.docbook

Line 36 contains an incorrect attribute, perhaps a result of author 
error, or a botched transformation from an imported source file.

xmllint ver 2.7.8 (on Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit) gives:

 > xmllint --noout --relaxng %DOCBOOK_XML%\rng\docbook.rng Errors.docbook

Errors.docbook:14: element info: Relax-NG validity error : Did not 
expect element info there
Errors.docbook:14: element info: Relax-NG validity error : Element book 
has extra content: info
Errors.docbook fails to validate

...which is unhelpful, or maybe just plain wrong.

jing gives:

 > jing %DOCBOOK_XML%\rng\docbook.rng Errors.docbook

Errors.docbook:36:57: error: attribute "conref" not allowed here; 
expected attribute "annotations", "arch", "audience", "condition", 
"conformance", "dir", "linkend", "os", "remap", "revision", 
"revisionflag", "role", "security", "userlevel", "vendor", "version", 
"wordsize", "xl:actuate", "xl:arcrole", "xl:href", "xl:role", "xl:show", 
"xl:title", "xl:type", "xml:base", "xml:id", "xml:lang" or "xreflabel"

... which shows the error clearly.
