Hi Mark,

Are you using <http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-3-2.xsd> as
your schema file?

I get:

egh@gales:~$ xmllint --version
xmllint: using libxml version 20627
   compiled with: Threads Tree Output Push Reader Patterns Writer SAXv1 FTP HTTP DTDValid HTML Legacy C14N Catalog XPath XPointer XInclude Iconv ISO8859X Unicode Regexps Automata Expr Schemas Schematron Modules Debug Zlib 

egh@gales:~$ xmllint --schema mods-3-2.xsd test2.mods --noout
test2.mods:17: element title: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3}title', attribute 'type': The attribute 'type' is not allowed.
test2.mods:37: element start: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3}start': This element is not expected.
test2.mods fails to validate

which make sense (@type is not allowed in title elements,
additionally, ‘issue’ is not a valid value for type; start needs to
come before list in extent). After removing @type & swapping list &
start:

egh@gales:~$ xmllint --schema mods-3-2.xsd test2.mods  —noout
test2.mods validates

best,
