hu? it has always been my understanding ( i might be completely
wrong/off track of course :), that a namespace is tied to a specific DTD
- so that you can have an XML document which contains more than 1 DTD
that are referenced by the namespace of the elements.

from my current understanding, XML Schema is only a more specific way to
describe element/attribute content than a DTD (e.g. you can say "this
element is a string of 3 characters" in a schema whereas a DTD only
specifies "this element has some content").
