gt-xsd-core Configuration assumes that namespaces uniquely identify 
schemas. hashCode and equals are defined in terms of the namespace URI, 
which are the same ( http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink ) for the OGC and W3C 
XLink schemas. As soon as someone tries to combine schemas that use both 
the old and new XLink, and they will, Bad Things Will Happen.
