Probably xerces proceeds like this:
Xerces must be able to directly locate the schema for the namespace of the
root element. It does not read schema#1 (for a seemingly irrelevant
namespace) in the hopes of finding the location of schema#2. If schema #1
is in the schemaLocation attribute of the instance document, it should work.
You can include both schemas there if you choose.
This is not redundant with the import element in schema#1. That import is
required in order to make it legal to refer in schema#1 to items from
schema#2.
