I see a lot of atrocious design in the use of namespaces, and I don't think it has anything to do with weaknesses in XML Schema - it's caused by the fact that the whole namespace concept was a disaster from day one. (I'm sure I said on xml-dev back in 1999 that it didn't matter that namespaces were bad, because they were so bad that no-one would use them. But I've never been able to find the quote.)
