I will edit it to clarify that it is not up-to-date, and point to the
up-to-date version, at http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd.

But 'cool URLs don't change', and as there are still lots of last-call
version W3C XML Schema documents out there which use the last-call
schema for schemas (at http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema.xsd) which
in turn references that (http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace.xsd), it
would be bad net citizenship to change it.
