R2004: My local schema guru argues that part one, section 4.2.3 of the W3C XML Schema Spec, specifically the section on import constraints and semantics, *does* require that any xs:import point either at a fragment inside a document whose root is <schema>, or a complete document whose root is <schema>. http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#src-import While I recognize that the complexity of the language (of W3C XML Schema in general, and of this section in particular) is an obstacle to widespread understanding, I am somewhat loath to attempt to "simplify" the language with no intent to change its meaning, as that gives us two potentially conflicting normative definitions.
