Indeed, namespaces and schemas are distinct concepts.  For example, RDF
defines a namespace containing among other things all the natural numbers
(1, 2, 3 etc.).  This is clearly not a schema.

However, that does not preclude having certain namespaces that are
identified by a schema, meaning that every item in the namespace is in the
schema and that the schema exactly declares the list of items in the
namespace.
