No, the parser is overly lenient.

As a follow-up question, I am finding many cases where a seemingly  
invalid POM is not being flagged as invalid. For example:

...
<exclusions>
     <mainClass>foo.bar</mainClass>
</exclusions>
...

This is clearly invalid because the exclusions section should only  
have exclusion tags as children. But "mvn validate" doesn't complain  
about it. In fact, you can put any known POM tag in the exclusions  
section and it will still validate.

Is the XSD wrong?
