Namespace Usage Question

I did some searching for publicly known namespaces 
(schema in particular) which use the flexibility of 
URI references by either being non-absolute or having 
a fragment.  In other words, one of the following cases: 

A.  xmlns:foo="relative"
B.  xmlns:foo="http://somehost/somepath#fragment"
C.  xmlns:foo="relative#fragment"

I've seen a few of class A in examples, but I haven't found 
a schema using A.  As for B and C, I'm still looking for a 
schema that uses fragments as part of its URI reference.   
Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough....

Any pointers would be helpful.  I'm not interested in
a debate on the merits, just interested in those who
may have used this XML namespace feature in the "real world"
and perhaps a description of why.  I will summarize 
private responses with this header in a few days time.

Kind Regards,

Clark
