perhaps an example makes my point: let's start with the following XML Schema
which has the
baseURI=http://example.com/XSD.xsd

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
                xsd:targetNamespace=http://example.org/foo-schema-ns
                xmlns:ns=http://example.org/foo-schema-ns
>
    <xsd:complexType name="bongo" id="foo">
            ...
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

now the question:
what is the URI of the complex type identified by the QName "ns:bongo" ?

Hint: according to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema it is NOT

http://example.org/foo-schema-nsbongo

see http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
