Relative links in schemata

The current IVOA schemata for registered resources include subsidiary schemata
using code like this:

<xs:include schemaLocation="VODataServiceCoverage-v0.5.xsd"/>

The intended semantics of the URI in this code are clear: "get the subsidiary
file from the same place that you got the main file". However, the XSD
standard (W3C XML Schema recommendation) doesn't specify these semantics, and
at least one of my XML tools (oXygen 5.0) seems not to find the susidiary
file.

Is it possible to change the URL to be absolute or to actually include the
child schema in the parent at source?
