Hi Don,

You need two schema documents, one for the "A" namespace, and the other for
the "B" namespace. One way to accomplish what you want is to set
elementFormDefault="true" in the B schema document.  That way, if you
declare C and D locally, they should be in no namespace, like they are in
your instance example.  So, your 2 schema documents might look like this:

A.xsd:

<xsd:schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
            targetNamespace="urn:a" xmlns:aaa="urn:a" xmlns:bbb="urn:b">
<xsd:import namespace="urn:b" schemaLocation="B.xsd"/>
<xsd:element name="A">
  <xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="A1">
        <xsd:complexType>
          <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element ref="bbb:B"/>
          </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:complexType>
      </xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:attribute name="version"/>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

B.xsd:

<xsd:schema elementFormDefault="unqualified" 
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
            targetNamespace="urn:b" xmlns:bbb="urn:b">
<xsd:element name="B">
  <xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="C" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xsd:complexType>
          <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="D" type="xsd:string"/>
          </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:complexType>
      </xsd:element>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

Hope that helps,
Priscilla
