You don't declare default namespace in your xml document, so the validator
doesn't find the mainNode element in your schema. Change your xml file to
read:
<mainNode xmlns="http://myUrl.com">
...
</mainNode>
It doesn't look like you were using the other two namespaces, so I removed
them. If you need them, feel free to put them back. Also, you haven't
defined the default namespace in your schema, which might cause some
problems. Since you haven't posted the entire schema, I can't tell. And
finally, you might want to change the attributeFormDefault to "unqualified".
