http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=2731

           Summary: Str 3.1.2 schema documents and the XMLSchema namespace
           Product: XML Schema
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: unclassified
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Structures: XSD Part 1

Section 3.1.2 of Structures reads in part

  All the element information items in the XML representation of 
  a schema must be in the XML Schema namespace, that is their 
  [namespace name] must be http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. 

This does not seem at first glance to be true:  the children
of xsd:documentation and xsd:appinfo are allowed to be in
other namespaces, and yet they are element information items
in the XML representation of a schema.

I think the paragraph needs to be recast to make whatever point it
is trying to make without the need for incorrectness.  Perhaps it
would suffice to replace 'All the' with 'The key'.
