Making XML schemas work was often a hassle. You have a schema ID, and sometimes you can open or load the schema through that URL. Other times, it serves only as an identifier and your tooling/IDE must support ID to local xsd file mappings that you configure.
Every time it didn't immediately work, you'd think: Man, why don't they publish the schema under that public URL.
This seriously sounds like a nightmare.
It’s giving me Eclipse IDE flashbacks where it seemed so complicated to configure I just hoped it didn’t break. There were a lot of those, actually.
