In the last few years, I have been working with document types that
use multiple namespaces (completely unrelated to SVG). These document
types are defined in XML Schemas that describe where each element
can/must be used, e.g. the schema says that the 'formalMetadata'
element needs to contain a 'dc:title' element ('dc' here referring to
Dublin Core), that it can have a 'xml:lang' attribute, etc. An XML
Schema can also specify how elements and attributes from other
namespaces need to be handled, with rules like <xs:anyAttribute
namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>, <xs:anyAttribute
namespace="##any" processContents="strict"/> or <xs:any
namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>.
(These examples are from Test Case Description Language 2.0:
<http://bentoweb.org/refs/TCDL2.0.html>.)
If there is no schema for the WICD documents (regardless of the
schema language - XML Schemas, RelaxNG, ISO Schematron, ...), I
wouldn't know how to validate such a document. Namespace declarations
and xsi:schemaLocation aren't enough, as far as I know, because you
still need a description of how element X from namespace A relates to
element Y from namespace B etc.
Best regards,
Christophe
