I believe that there is in principle an opportunity to do better if we had the
time and were so inclined, but I think that what the workgroup has agreed is an
acceptable compromise.  As a signal of the sorts of things I think one could
do, one could have properties such as:

schemaLocationHintsIgnored:  if true, the processor guarantees not to
dereference a URI as a result of its appearance in an instance schemaLocation.

There are some other variants possible in principle.  Given my feelings, I
would have some temptation to resolve the issue with status LATER, but for
several reasons I will mark it CLOSED:

1) I think this is in the spirit of what the workgroup has agreed, and I have
no objection at all to that agreement.  While this is not the only possible or
most aggressive resolution, it is a reasonable one IMO.

2) The terminology in Appendix D in no way restricts the conformance profiles
that others may choose to document.  Accordingly, if any other conventions
prove important, no changes to the recommendation will be necessary.

3) There is always the opportunity to open a new issue if new information
obtained as a result of experience with Schema 1.1 suggests that further work
would be beneficial.
