I am not convinced that this is a significant problem.

The xs:schema attributes would change from
  xmlns:stc="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/STC/stc-v1.30.xsd"
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
to
  xmlns:stc="http://www.ivoa.net/xml/STC/stc-v1.30.xsd"
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"

It is merely one more standard schema from W3C.
Is not the validation of any VOEvent already in trouble if their
server is not accessible?
