- This is probably more of a comment to the core schema spec, but for
   a similar reason, in my problem domain it's very convenient to be
   able to talk about a particular namespace. But the schema spec lacks
   a component that corresponds to such concept right now.

   For example, a JAXB user would often like to say "please generate
   classes into the org.acme.foo package from this namespace".

   Since a namespace is often used to group a set of components, I
   suspect this is not unique to my problem domain. For example, when
   you write some <xs:documentation>s for, say, the DocBook namespace,
   your intention is probably for that documentation to apply just to
   the DocBook namespace, as opposed to the schema-as-a-whole
   component, as implied by the current spec.
