AFAIK this is not yet accessible via xmllint. We did an initial 
implementation of xsi:schemaLocation/xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation not 
long ago, so I guess it just needs some time and priority to make 
through to xmllint. Please report it in bugzilla, so we can schedule it; 
or, if you feel like it, try an implementation. xmlSchemaNewValidCtxt 
needs to be called with NULL as the @schema argument.
XMLSchema-instance:schemaLocation has not been tested much, so we would 
be glad to hear from your experience here.
