I agree. Nobody from the WG has commented publically or privately on the
issue yet. (hint, hint)
I'm perfectly happy to have every name belong to a single namespace, but
they can be constrained by *0 or more* schemas. The namespace spec. should
either support this directly (unlikely) or remove references to schemas
altogether.
But from a logical point of view, I don't understand why the namespace
declaratoin should point to schemas, but not stylesheets, search engine
keyword indexes and so forth. Schemas are just another type of processing
specification. In some applications they will be cruicial. In others they
will be irrelevant...just like stylesheets.
