Sorry for the confusion. It should be "URI pairs" that need to be resolved,
not "all URI's". Such pairs can be resolved in one of 5 ways in 4.3.2,
where the namespace name is mentioned many times. In Xerces'
implementation, we first try to use the namespace name to look up for a
grammar. If this fails, we use the location hint to load the grammar. So
the namespace name is definitely useful.

Actually, I don't want to emphasize on whether the spec requires us to
resolve all location hints. My point was whether it's worth it. If there is
no clear benefit, why do we want to complicate the (already very
complicated) schema loading mechanism.

The section of the spec that you quoted is "as clear as is the summer's
sun" (http://classics.mit.edu/Shakespeare/henryv/henryv.1.2.html)

If the schema processor is supposed to attempt to load all of the URL's
mentioned in xsi:schemaLocation, then what is the value of the namespace
key?  However, if you want a definitive interpretation, you'll should
ask on xmlschema-dev.
