I think really you are wanting to validate against a particular schema. This is entirely unrelated to which namespace URI is used to identify elements in the document. You can have multiple XML Schema Documents (xsd) for validating XML documents whose elements are "in" the same namespace. A namespace in XML is nothing more or less than a URI used as a name. They don't actually "do" anything :) http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Validation_Module#XML_Schema_Validation has an example that might help.
