Is it possible to represent fixed namespace attributes using XML Schema?
For example, what would the equivalent of the following DTD fragment be
in XML Schema?

<!ELEMENT rdf:RDF (rdf:Description*)>
<!ATTLIST rdf:RDF
  xmlns:rdf     CDATA #FIXED
"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
  xmlns:dc      CDATA #FIXED "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
  xmlns:dcterms CDATA #FIXED "http://purl.org/dc/terms/"
>

I'm struggling to see a way to do this in XML Schema since the
<xsd:attribute> element doesn't allow namespace qualified attribute
names to be declared. And, I don't believe it is legal to declare
'xmlns' as a namespace since it is reserved by XML.

Any ideas?
