Not dumb at all. I'm no XML expert, but here's my understanding of it.
The URI in an XML namespace declaration isn't necessarily the URL of a
document that can be downloaded, though it may be. In this case, you
should have a copy of the schema file on your machine wherever WiX is
installed. Look for a file named wix.xsd. If you open that file,
you'll see a line near the top that says:
targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
As I understand it, that's how XML tools know to associate this
particular schema document with the XML documents that use that namespace.
