Oops, forgot to answer this. 

Since xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation is a hint, it can be ignored at the
discretion of the implementation. MSXML ignores the namespace location
in the instance document if 

A.) No validation is requested by the user either via setting
validateOnParse property or invoking the validate() method.

OR 

B.) A schema is provided by the user via an XML Schema Cache for
validating the document.
