Sorry, I was suggesting a location in the CVS, not a URL to locate the 
schema or a namespace URI for the schema.  However, it would probably 
be good to pick all three.  My suggestions would be:

Namespace: http://logging.apache.org
Location: http://logging.apache.org/configuration.xsd
CVS location: docs/configuration.xsd

I did a search on my workspace and I thought I saw it appear in 
multiple places.  I was either mistaken or it got copied during the 
build process.

When I commit it, I'll need a CVS location.  Since it is not really 
part of the code base, but a documentation of an input format, I'd 
likely put it under the doc tree.  With an appropriate style 
declaration, it could be even viewed in most browsers.  Where it fits 
on the http://logging.apache.org web site could be determined later.

OK to the above two.

>CVS location: docs/configuration.xsd

docs/ contains mostly generated docs. It is not a dependency of src/. See 
also below.

How about ./src/o/a/l/xml or ./src/o/a/l/joran?

OK, I had not considered the 'documentation of an input format' aspect of 
this. I was only thinking from the 'verification at run-time' angle. 
Doesn't log4j.xsd need to be part of log4.jar to allow offline 
configuration? In which case shouldn't the 'verification at run-time' angle 
take priority?
