Re: XML Schema / XSLT / Namespaces / XMLSchema-instance and validation

You went _way_ down a blind irrelevant alley -- I recommend you check
the XML Schema Primer, particularly section 3 [1] for an introduction
to the impact of local element declarations (such as the one for Elem
below).

The special function of http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
inheres _only_ in _that_ namespace, and you never need to load or
access any schema document for that namespace.

The following two files are all you need.

Testinput.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<t:Test
  xmlns:t="http://localhost/Schemas/Test"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation=
                     "
                      http://localhost/Schemas/Test
                      Test.xsd
                     "
>

  <Elem>bla</Elem>

</t:Test>


Test.xsd

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  targetNamespace="http://localhost/Schemas/Test"
  xmlns="http://localhost/Schemas/Test"
>

  <xsd:complexType name="TestType">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="Elem"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>

  <xsd:element name="Test" type="TestType"></xsd:element>

</xsd:schema>
