They have to be visible at runtime, but that's done by making sure the
parser when it's operating can find and load the IdP schemas. They don't
ever have to be physically inside the OpenSAML code or shipped with it.

Basically you need an extension mechanism to supplant any built-in schemas
with your own, and in our case "own own" are the IdP layer schemas.
