What I mean is that I downloaded the latest oxygen-tei package from here:

<http://code.google.com/p/oxygen-tei/>

and installed it into my Oxygen setup. When you edit a TEI file which 
isn't directly linked to a specific schema through e.g. an xml-model PI, 
Oxygen by default validates it against tei_all in the installed 
framework (at least, I'm pretty sure that's the case, based on my 
previous experience). So what I'm wondering is whether there might be 
something wrong with the oxygen-tei package.

If it's the case that Oxygen in fact validates against some other 
customization rather than tei_all, then that makes sense, but my 
previous experience suggests that up to now it's been validating against 
a complete TEI schema.

Did you install the new TEI framework into your Oxygen frameworks directory?

Cheers,
