I read the same part of the W3C XML Schema recommendation that you did.
How exactly is our implementation incorrect given the parts of the REC
you quoted?

The |xsi:schemaLocation also accepts pairs of URIs for authors that wish
to provide references to Schema documents|. In each pair of URIs, the
first is used as a namespace URI and the second as a location for the
schema document. This is one of the three requierments at [1].
The sister attribute, |xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation, accepts only one
URI as a hint to where the schema document may be located.|
So, this implementation is incorrect [2]?
