	Is the "thing" the namespace URI refers to a file, or is it "the schema
associated with the namespace name". If the resource refers to an abstract
schema then the content associates this abstraction with a physical document
describing the schema in a particular format, and perfectly reasonable as
part of the URI resolution/binding process.

	I wholeheartedly agree that it is healthy to have an open discussion about
this topic.
