In principle, yes.
In practice, implementations differ.
Next release of XSV will support things such as the following:
<envelop>
<purchaseOrder orderDate="1999-10-20"
xmlns="http://www.example.org/po"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.org/po #local">
. . .
</purchaseOrder>
<xs:schema id="local" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/po"
xmlns="http://www.example.org/po"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="purchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"/>
. . .
</xs:schema>
</envelop>
