schema in multiple files with same target namespace

           Summary: schema in multiple files with same target namespace
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.0.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: XML Schema Structures
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: andre.levy@almonde.com


I have written several schemas in separate files to describe an api.
all the apis belong to the same target namespace: http://www.myself.com/API

say I have a schema named referenceobject.xsd to describe referenceobject
and another schema named concreteobject.xsd to describe concreteobject

I want to write:

<referenceobject xmlns="http://www.myself.com/API"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myself.com/API
        http://www.myself.com/API/root/referenceobject.xsd">

    <someElementBelongingToReferenceObjectDefinition/>

    <concreteobject xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.myself.com/API
        http://www.myself.com/API/root/concreteobject.xsd">

        <someElementBelongingToConcreteObjectDefinition/>

    </concreteobject>

</referenceobject>

is this production valid with respect to XML/XMLSchema specification?

right now xerces will not validate this (see
org.apache.xerces.impl.xs.XMLSchemaValidator.findSchemaGrammar())

would it be useful to have it implemented? or is there a problem with this approach?

Thank you
