I think there's an important third reason, schema-driven editing,
where the schema is used by an editing tool to assist with creating
XML documents. In that case schemaLocation is a convenience for
binding a particular document to the schema to use to guide and
constrain authoring.
Yes: see my response to Tony Coates, who points out the same thing.
Also, there is the important case of documents that have elements
not in a namespace--in that case there is no better solution than
schemaLocation for binding elements to their governing schemas. But
I also agree that in that case schemaLocation is no better than a
DOCTYPE declaration since you can't even check to see if the schema
referenced matches the schema you have configured for use with a
given namespace.
Indeed. Either namespaces are relied on to determine sets of rules to
which a given sets of elements should conform, or they're not, and
you have to do it some other way, and so does your stylesheet. :-)
Cheers,
Wendell
