RE: Can one inline schema import definitions from a second inline schema?

it could be my mistake, but i understand R2004:

  <<[must not] import a Schema from any document whose root element is not "schema" >>

as prohibiting import of a namespace from one in-line schema into another in-line schema, since the root element of a WSDL document is "definitions".

As always, i'm prepared to be wrong .. in fact i'd like to be wrong here: i'm responsible for several .NET  generated WSDLs that schema import namespaces between multiple in-line schemas using a missing schemaLocation value.

I don't understand.

WS-I prohibited use of wsdl:import to import schema, and requires that
xs:import be inside xs:schema inside wsdl:types (bare xs:import inside
wsdl:types is allowed in wsdl.next).  It prohibits use of any schema
language other than W3C XML Schema, and prohibits import of fragments
(these from Anne Thomas Manes quotes of the WS-I BP).  I was not aware
of a prohibition of imports of embedded schema; could you cite or quote
this requirement?
