We do publish the XML shemas with each Renoise release in a folder Schemas in the Resources folder.
On macOS that’s a folder in the app bundle:
/Applications/Renoise/Contents/Resources/Schemas/
The XSD’s don’t specify all the internal document integrity constraints (e.g. there must be at least one instrument, internal track/instrument references must be valid and so on), but it’s a start. So even if a auto-generated XML file is valid due to the schema it’s quite easy to crash down Renoise with malformed docs which have been auto-generated.
