I take your point, but this is not without some complications; if you import
Schemas, you need to parse each import and include (recursively) as well as the
schemaLocation, in order to work out all of the versions.  Checking the
namespace of each element is much more straightforward, and lets the parser do
the work.  Also, I suspect that we will see tools whose workflow is guided by
the namespace URI before we see tools whose workflow is also guided by the
schemaLocation/import/include information.

     Cheers,
          Tony.
