Martin,

The targetSchema property only affects the behavior of Visual Studio (VS):

msdn.microsoft.com

or

tinyurl.com


The "schemas.microsoft.com portion of the meta tag is
a URN, not a URL. A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) points to a
specific location on the internet. A URN (Uniform Resource Name) does not.
A URN is just a specific name for an entity, in this case the targetSchema
VS should configure its designers for.

Changing "http" to "https" on the above URN may confuse VS, and would serve no
purpose, since the URN is just a name, and does not specify a location on the
internet . Here's an explanation on the whole URL/URN/URI mess from the W3C:

www.w3.org



Just for fun, I tried pointing my browser to schemas.microsoft.com and
got a 404 error. Trying just http://schemas.microsoft.com/ results in a page
with the phrase "schemas.microsoft.com" in bold letters.

Hope this helps.

Chris.
