But schema describe document grammars (amongst other things) so giving individual schema for each namespace used on attributes in the document isn't normally what you want, normally you want the document to be linked to a schema that gives overall constraints about which attributes are allowed where, whichever namespace they come from. This schema may well use schema that describe the individual attributes but it doesn't just need to include these it needs to add the constraints about where the attributes may be used. (which may be no constraints at all, of course) David
