In general, there is no promise that the Namespace URI has anything to do with where the Schema is actually loaded from. The W3C's "Semantic Web" working group is supposedly going to address the question of what relationship, if any, exists between these two currently-independent concepts.
In specific: I'm not sure whether Xerces has a good way to plug in a custom mapping from namespace to schema. Note that if you do this it's not guaranteed to work for anyone else's document. The schemalocattion "hints" are actually the most official solution currently avalable. Yes, this is a nuisance. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
