Generally, it is not a good idea to rely on the schemaLocation attribute
in production applications. It is better to ignore it and specify the
location/schema from within the application. For more information on
various ways to achieve this, refer to Section 5.1, "XML Schema Validation
and Searching" in the C++/Tree Mapping Getting Started Guide:
