I'll stick my neck out an say this is not true. I checked the april
22 edition of RDFS <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/> and didn't
find that specification. The RDF MT defines an RDFS vocabulary as a
set of URI refs and doesn't say anything about RDFS documents.

[Not unrelated: an RDF property doesn't have a namespace but it
does have a name, which is a URI reference. If an RDF property is
placed in an XML namespace for serialization that's merely an
implementation detail of the XML serialization. RDF is not an XML
grammar.]

There's no problem coexisting.
