I agree that it would be nice if there is a canonical package that installs those schemas on the system. On Fedora, other packages install their own schema files under /usr/share/xml/*, so we could follow that convention.

A few concerns are:
- the original W3C schemas are covered by https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2015/doc-license which retains the copyright
- the schemas might need modification as we extend the standard by adding more vocabularies:

It seems like the gettext policy regarding ITS rules is to push for downstream projects to maintain their own (eg. #54819) and that sounds perfectly fair.

ITS rules are XML file themselves. Considering that third-parties are expected to provide these XML files and that gettext will later parse them, I think it would make sense for gettext to ship schemas for the ITS format version it is expecting to find.

The W3C ITS working group is providing NVDL + RELAX NG schemas as part of their test suite [1] [2]. From a third-party point of view, I'd find helpful if gettext was to install these in its data directory (and provide a pkg-config variable pointing at this directory).
