Problem with qualified namespaces and xsv

I have some problems with "XSV 1.173.2.6/1.82 of 2000/10/31 16:30:47".

I am validating a simple document [1] within the
"http://example.org/ns/books/" namespace.

The first test that works fine is using a schema [2] using qualified
elements:

<xsd:schema
     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
         targetNamespace="http://example.org/ns/books/"
         elementFormDefault="qualified" >

<xsd:element name="book">
.../...

The second one is using a schema [3] using unqualified elements:

<xsd:schema
     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
         xmlns:bk="http://example.org/ns/books/"
         targetNamespace="http://example.org/ns/books/"
         >

<xsd:element name="bk:book">
..../...

XSV seems to fail matching the document element that is correctly
identified:
"docElt: {http://example.org/ns/books/}book "
against the declaration of "bk:book" and switches to lax validation
(which succeds but doesn't test anything else):
"No declaration for document root found, validation was lax "

To try to spot the problem, I have tried an intermediate schema [4]
mixing qualified and unqualified elements:

<xsd:schema
     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
         xmlns="http://example.org/ns/books/"
         xmlns:bk="http://example.org/ns/books/"
         targetNamespace="http://example.org/ns/books/"
         elementFormDefault="qualified" >

<xsd:element name="book">
 <xsd:complexType>
  <xsd:sequence>
   <xsd:element name="bk:title" type="xsd:string"/>
.../...

Here again, the elements are not matched correctly:

http://www.dyomedea.com/tests/xmlschema/ns/library-ns1.xml:4:2: Invalid
per cvc-complex-type.1.2.4: element {http://example.org/ns/books/}:title
not allowed
here in element {http://example.org/ns/books/}:book: 

The full xml output gives more hints:

<invalid char='2' code='cvc-complex-type.1.2.4' line='4'
resource='http://www.dyomedea.com/tests/xmlschema/ns/library-ns1.xml'>element
{http://example.org/ns/books/}:title not allowed here in element
{http://example.org/ns/books/}:book:
<fsm>
<node id='1'>
<edge dest='2' label='{http://example.org/ns/books/}:bk:title'/>
</node>

and lets me think that the prefix might have been ignored (bk:title).

Or have I missed something more obvious ?

Thanks
