Sorry, I misread your example.  I could have sworn
accountInformationUpdate.xsd had a target namespace. Since it doesn't, you
can just change the include back to an import and your instance can look
like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<AccountUpdate xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="accountInformationUpdate.xsd">

<AccountInformation>

...

</AccountUpdate>

None of the elements are in a namespace, because AccountUpdate is declared
in a schema with no target namespace, and the rest are locally declared and
hence not in a namespace. Since none of the elements are in a namespace, you
don't even need to declare the namespace in the instance XML.

This validates in Xerces-J. I don't use .NET, so I'm not sure what it will
do there, but it should work.
