Given that a schema is a copyrightable work, you can give people a license to do things that would otherwise violate copyright provided that they observe certain conditions you stipulate, and one of those conditions might be not putting anything in your namespace. (You could also require them to pay you money, or to say a dozen Hail Marys before breakfast - whatever makes you happy.) Of course, some people would choose not to accept such licensing conditions, but that's up to them. And some would accept the conditions without reading them, and some would read them, accept them, and ignore them, but that's life. Michael Kay Saxonica
