Hi Folks,

Suppose that a schema reuses components from schemas which have the same
namespace, i.e., it uses <include>.  In an instance document is it
invalid to reference all of the schemas in schemaLocation?  

Example.

schemaLocation="http://www.cellphone.org
                Nokia.xsd
                http://www.cellphone.org
                Erikson.xsd
                http://www.cellphone.org
                Motorola.xsd"

This seems a little odd - the namespace http://www.cellphone.org is
defined by Nokia.xsd, then the same namespace is defined by Erikson.xsd,
then it's defined by Motorola.xsd.  /Roger
