XML to describe with schema to use
Create a link between XML and schema - possibly as a path or alias description in a top level attribute.
See the recent w3c standard on how this could be achieved.
A follow on from https:/
Could this also be added as an option in the flml file, i.e. the option to specify an alias to a schema file. In the case above, this might be:
<schema_alias>
<string_
</schema_alias>
When the file is opened in diamond with:
# diamond file.flml
the schema path linked with the alias is looked up and used to read the fluidity option tree. If the alias doesn't exist, it just uses the default, which is what it would do currently. If a schema path or alias is provided as an argument, this overrides the option in the file.

Whiteboard
It would be useful if aliases could be used here too - but this could always be done through symbolic links if the standard necessitates that a full path be given.

Cian said with regard to this blueprint:
My opinion is that if it's possible to do the second part an "official" way then that would be preferable to adding another suggested absolute path to the schema. I realise this one wouldn't be required but it's already quite annoying to incorporate /geometry/dimension into every schema.

Would this be an issue if it is only an optional path?
My main concern is how to implement this so it not filesystem or user specific. Working through aliases is one way, and possibly through symbolic links, if it is necessary to reference a filesystem path.
