You can't define qualified names directly -- you must define a schema
for the namespace in question, and import the definition from there:
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/News">
<attribute name="attrName" type="string"/>
</schema>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/Other"
xmlns:newns="http://www.example.com/News"
xmlns:my="http://www.example.com/Other">
<import namespace="http://www.example.com/News"/>
<complexType name="foo">
. . .
<attribute ref="newns:attrName"/>
</schema>
