Ha!  I put something very similar into GNU ELPA's html5-schema package
a month or so ago.

It might not be too hard to tweak nXML so it accepts HTTP URLs, but I'm
not sure what behavior you'd want to see exactly: the naive approach
might download all those files via HTTP every time you open an HTML
file, slowing down startup significantly.

It could also use a cache, but then it begs the question of how often to
update the cache.  So for my kind of use-case at least, I'd end up
preferring to manage the file by hand (i.e. download the files via
"git" and update them via "git pull" whenever I feel like it).

If you enable url-handler-mode, then Emacs will consider "http://..." as
a valid file name.  So assuming you enabled that mode, you should mostly
need to teach nXML to accept those names.  E.g. the 100% guaranteed
untested patch below might be a good start.

PS: I'd welcome some help to improve the html5-schema so that the HTML
    it accepts includes SVG elements.
