Hi John,
My guess is that the target namespace of your schema does not match the
namespace in your instance document. They must match _exactly_.
XSV is dereferencing the namespace because it is looking for a schema
document with the correct target namespace. If it can't find an appropriate
schema document via either the xsi:schemaLocation attribute or a command
line parameter, it dereferences the namespace as a last resort. There is
nothing illegal about this - processors are not required to dereference the
namespace, but they are not forbidden from doing so either.
Also, it looks like you are using a fairly old version of XSV. I would
upgrade.
Hope that helps,
Priscilla
