Thanks Richard, Nic,
I didn't understand that db.components would include chapters, but I guess the
real issue is that I'm using the Python lxml module (which uses
libxml2/libxslt) to do the validation.
My test code:
---------------------------
from lxml import etree
tree = etree.parse('dbtest.xml')
relaxng = etree.RelaxNG(file='/path_to/DocBook/V5.0/rng/docbookxi.rng')
relaxng.assertValid(tree)
---------------------------
results in:
File "lxml.etree.pyx", line 3006, in lxml.etree._Validator.assertValid
(src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:125415)
lxml.etree.DocumentInvalid: Expecting element set, got chapter, line 2.
the dbtest.xml starts out with this line:
---------------------------
<chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; version="5.0">
---------------------------

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
