All done through namespaces. BTW, I did a presentation on this for XML 2000
that you can download at
http://www.freeframework.org/downloads/xml/schemaext.zip. Also, I have an
article coming out on this for the May issue of XML Journal.

It does. You just need to find out how specific tools find and validate
schemas for multiple namespaces.
