Schemas should be informative…that way you can resolve disagreements between the schemas and the text specifications in favor of the text specifications and ensure consistency across all of the serializations (MTI and otherwise). This is how MITRE has done other specs as well, and is how TAXII 1.1’s XML Binding Specification is written.

I agree, the spec is the only normative definition.  The schema helps
validate adherence to the spec, but the schema should not be considered
normative..  It is possible that the schema cannot be as strict as the
specification says, so therefore the specification must be the final
arbiter..
