Per the XML Schema spec it is a URI (absolute or relative).
However, for security reasons (no network access), the XSD
compiler only supports local filesystem paths.

Relative (both Windows and POSIX styles, e.g., ../foo/bar.xsd
and ..\foo\bar.xsd) as well as absolute (e.g., c:\foo\bar.xsd)
paths work for me on Windows with XSD 3.2.0. Which version of
XSD are you using?

Also if you are planning to use absolute paths for inclusion
then you will most likely want to change header include paths
in the generated code. For that refer to the --include-regex
option.
