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.
