Why do you think it should work this way? Schema picked depends on
validator you are using -- DTD validator will use !DOCTYPE, XSD
validator will use xsi:schemaLocation and oXygen will use PI when asked
for RELAX NG validation because there is no standardized way for
associating schema with instance.
