At least with Xerces-J aborting on an error in the schema (i.e. violation of the constraints on schema documents / schema components) is the user's choice. They may choose to continue processing and Xerces will try its best to recover from the errors it encounters. Your milage may vary if you use such a schema for validation, though that's something we focused on improving [1] in the recent 2.10.0 release.
