Any declaration (element, PI, etc) about the schema that the document
creator intended to apply!  Inferring semantics is typically a lose.

An issue is that the schema DRAFT (!) is saying that the namespace
REC (!) was wrong -- schema is saying namespaces are for more than
disambiguating names, the REC says otherwise.  We may have a fully
unambiguous notion of who "Henry" is ... but that won't normally be
placing limits on where we might run into him!
