mapserver 4.6.1 and validating XML

WFS Gurus,

  I thought I would try mapserver as a WFS server.  The XML it (v4.6.1)
spits out when doing REQUEST=getcapabilities generates parse errors in the
Cadcorp SIS Map Browser (and the XML validator, CookTop).  Specifically:
<SFE_XMLSCHEMA/> and <GML3/> are flagged as invalid elements.  I haven't
used the new "outputFormat=GML3" option, so I assume it should be generating
GML2.

  Are these parse errors normal?  Is there some switch in the map file I
need to throw?

The XML details:
        :
    <DescribeFeatureType>
      <SchemaDescriptionLanguage>
        <XMLSCHEMA/>
        <SFE_XMLSCHEMA/>
      </SchemaDescriptionLanguage>
        :
    <GetFeature>
      <ResultFormat>
        <GML2/>
        <GML3/>
      </ResultFormat>
