I think a couple of things are missing in the document to allow using  
the intended schema(s).

At the top, the "standalone" parameter is set to "yes" which is meant  
to indicate that a non-validating parser can interpret the document  
without reference to external items such as schemas or DTDs.

And none of the namespace declarations have "schemaLocation"  
attributes which tell you where to find the schema content. They  
should look something like this, I think, to enable looking up the  
schema content:

<abc:document xmlns:abc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main 
"  abc:schemaLocation="http://path.to.schema/location">
...
</abc:document>

(Be warned! My reference book is old!!)
