Agreed.

Agreed.  In general XSV supports this, in that schema documents
offered on the command line are always loaded and take precedence over
e.g. schemaLocation in <import>.  However since it uses the 'official' 
xml schema in validating schema documents, it refuses to allow that
one to be overriden -- a bug, I guess, but not high on my list to fix.
