Attachment: two validation errors for Bing searchplugin

I experienced a 6 errors notification from the addon validator just after upload.
My xml searchplugin is here http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1465203

Ok I said to myself, this is my fault let's try to see what is wrong. I decided to give a look at an existing and supposedly valid example.
And I I had the idea of test-submitting one "valid" xml file for Bing searchplugin. I uploaded the very file whiich is inside Firefox.
Problem is : I got two errors by the validator.
here attached is a creenshot telling which were the two detected errors

Any idea ?

(Note I don't care much about my own file being faulty, I just would like to use a valid example to correct it)

How is this resolved? The valid XML is still being considered invalid. Even the examples linked are not accepted by the validator.

Which one isn't working? Do you have an example of your own that fails to validate?

I've created a new report considering it involves a slightly different error, but they're the same idea:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=997333

The report links to a thread. A simple example based on the earlier linked guide is found in this post:

We've established the XML is correct and works if installed, but the validator returns "OpenSearch: XML Parse Error" each time.
