Absolutely correct -- the XML WG came to the same conclusion. Although the schema mechanism is not yet defined, it will certainly be possible to have a many-to-many relationship among schemas and namespaces. I can write my own structural schema that happens to use names from the TEI and Docbook namespaces, but arranged according to my own requirements (i.e. this is a TEI paragraph, but I'm allowing it only here).
