Is there any reason why WFS responses include a WFS schemaLocation URL 
that points back to the server, and not the canonical location?

At the moment a WFS 1.1.0 response includes this:
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs 
http://localhost:80/geoserver/schemas/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd [...]"

I would prefer the canonical location:
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs 
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.1.0/wfs.xsd [...]"

The canonical location is more likely to be cached by a validating 
client, and can be easily recognised as a WFS 1.1 response without 
having to fetch and parse the server's copy, which may or may not be the 
same.

Kind regards,
