For xsi:schemaLocation I think the situation is quite different. Someone receiving a document has the choice of what to do with it: (a) don't validate it at all (b) validate it against schema X (c) validate it against the schema identified in its own xsi:schemaLocation If they ask for (c), then it would be surprising if the processor then ignored the value of xsi:schemaLocation and used some completely different schema. So in this case too, I think the "hint" terminology is unhelpful. It would be better to say that the algorithm used to dereference a URI may be under user control.
