As an XML schema is just XML it's quite possible to include an XML schema into an instance document. For example, WSDL is an example of a schema being included into an XML instance. However, such a schema won't automatically be considered to be the schema for the instance that it's contains in. You'll have to add external logic to do that. And, without knowing further details, I'm not sure it's a sensible thing to do. Schemas tend to be larger than instances thereof, and it seems to be the wrong place to specify a contract.

I'm thinking of something rather like HTML files that can incorporate embedded CSS styles, or the CSS files can be extracted into a separate CSS file. Thanks - Rowan
