There's no reason in principle why you can't reference the schema document
in its original W3C location. However, you might not get good performance
(and W3C might get uptight) if you run thousands of validations a second
without caching. Also the retrieval might fail if you are disconnected from
the web or behind a proxy server. So maintaining a local copy is what a lot
of people do.
