Tim, No doubt about the issue of schemas needing to be namespace sensitive. The question is whether a namespace has meaning outside of the name, or what meaning does the namespace uri have? some people suggest it is just a unique name. others suggest it ought to point to a DTD, and others a schema. this issue is still under debate, for example dave megginson states to the effect that the namespace uri ought have no meaning beyond a unique name (dave, i hope i've summarized you correctly :-) but andrew layman believes otherwise (correct?)
