There's currently no schema defined for use with EXI, for various reasons
(other things in SVG are under discussion for future use with EXI).

The EXI 1.0 spec mentions the use of a URI as an example for schemaIds.

The +exi proposal would have the same question: either define the schema, or 
the mechanism to use schemaId, or another out-of-band mechanism.
