I have looked at this example - but I'm a bit unsure about the
semantics. What is the key for the cache-lookup? The path, the filename?
What happens if two files have the same name?

Thanks for the hint. I'm not sure whether that would work here as the
xsd's are modified (in form of a temporary file) at run-time when
plugins are loaded, so I cannot really compile schemas into the
application or can I modify the binary representations at run-time?
(i.e. add includes which are themselves then in form of a binary
representation)?

Thanks!
