IIRC, there was a problem with the schema available at the time
w/r/t the version of XSD that it leveraged (being different than
that which we were using for v1.0). If the XSD is now compliant with
the REC  version of XML Schema, then agreed we should be using the
normative schema published by W3C for dsig-core.

There isn't one:) I've repeatedly pointed this out to colleagues
of mine who were involved in the XLink WG. There are experimental
versions (like ours) floating around, but for our purposes, what
I hacked together is as good as any other (IMO:). We probably want
to relocate this one to our OASIS site just to be sure that it
stays with the rest of our stuff for now.

My take would be that we should point to the "official" schema
and let implementations deal with any issues they might have
on their own (e.g. copy and strip out annotations).
