Actually, for XForms, 'inline' and 'linked' are precisely the two ways
of incorporating schemas: the xforms:model element can hyperlink
to schema documents using the 'schema' attribute:
<xf:model schema="http://example.com/foo/foo.xsd ..."> ...
and it can contain inline schema documents:
<xf:model>
...
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://example.com/foo/foo.xsd">
...
</xs:schema>
...
</xf:model>
I take these to be what the spec is referring to when it speaks
of schemas (or schema documents) being inline or linked.
Note, however, that XForms processors vary a bit in how fully they
support XSD.
