According to http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_Toc492291094, any URI can be a relative URI. Keep in mind, though, that the whole purpose behind the location attribute is to allow the WSDL processor to retrieve the schema file if necessary. It's not an uncommon practice to copy WSDL files around (which tends to break relative URIs), so I consider it a best practice to supply a fully qualified URI for the location attribute.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/intro/intro.html#h-2.1.3 for more information on relative URIs.
