It is a very good point to show them where to get the newest version
since Emacs and docbook schemas might not always be in sync. I think
that should be in the documentation for nxml-mode in Emacs.

But I think including schemas with Emacs is also very important. So I
would suggest checking this for every new Emacs release (to Emacs
Devel: Can we please put this in the to-do for new releases?).

Could you perhaps make a short summary? How do you yourself handle
this for example?
