This is basically what Aki was trying to do with RM and I kind of objected to which started the whole discussion. It more or less goes against the whole idea of 1:1 relationship between schema and namespace and does cause various other issues. For example, we now have a nice .htaccess file in place that redirects the namespace URL's to the appropriate schema so things like XML editors can easily pick them up and provide nice contextual information while editing the XML. If you have the same namespace mapped to two separate schemas, that no longer would work and we're right back to where we started with that. If we change the areas of core from the Spring specific types to xsd:anyType, we likely could do it. That's acutally how the interceptor lists work already. I'm honestly not sure why the properties don't already do it that way. A good start might just be to identify the areas that are different between the schemas and just list them out. If flipping from mapType -> xsd:anyType would fix it in all the cases, it might just be worth doing.
