"The 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace:lang' attribute is not declared."

Sometimes, when validating certain XML documents using an XmlValidatingReader, I receive the following error:

System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidationException: 
"The 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace:lang' attribute is not declared."

The same document sometimes succeeds. I cannot figure out why.

My XSD imports the schema like so:

<xs:schema id="myschemaId"
       xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
       targetNamespace="http://mytargetnamespace.com"
       xmlns="http://mytargetnamespace.com"
       xmlns:mm="http://mytargetnamespace.com"
       elementFormDefault="qualified">
 <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" 
            schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd" />
 ...

And in the XML document I have the following attributes:

<root xmlns="http://mytargetnamespace.com"        
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://mytargetnamespace.com myschema.xsd">

Finally, the XmlReaderSettings:

const XmlSchemaValidationFlags validationFlags =
          XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessInlineSchema |
          XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ProcessSchemaLocation |  
          XmlSchemaValidationFlags.ReportValidationWarnings |
          XmlSchemaValidationFlags.AllowXmlAttributes;

// Set the validation settings.
var settings = new XmlReaderSettings
                   {
                       ValidationType = ValidationType.Schema,
                       ValidationFlags = validationFlags,
                       DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Parse
                   };
settings.ValidationEventHandler += OnValidationEventHandler;

// Create the XmlReader object.
var reader = XmlReader.Create(_xmlFilePath, settings);

// Parse the file. 
while (reader.Read()) {}
