Re: BLD, FLD and DTB: prefix for XML schema namespace

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.

Best, Jos
