Re: PROV-ISSUE-480: XSD Validator returns schema parser error when reading prov.xsd [XML Serialization]

Based on the information at http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-i18n-bp/#generic-includeinxsd, if we update the schema so that the import of xml.xsd looks like the following

<xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" 
             schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd"/>

the schema should be correct.

I made this change and tested it and the online validator at http://xsdvalidation.utilities-online.info validates the schema as OK.

I will make the change and commit to hg.
