I think it's best to follow the convention of the original (XML schema) specification, because "xsd" might be a source of confusion (especially since there is this deprecated namespace around). I will not object to xsd, but xs seems to make most sense to me. Finally, BLD currently uses both in different places in the document; I think just one of the two should be used.
