Um, I know we've taken a lot of stick for releasing interim drafts
with less than pelucid prose, but I would have thought Chapter 4 of
the current PWD [1] makes it clear that _if_ I've understood you correctly 
in your use of the word 'vocabularies', XML Schema certainly does
address the problem, and I think solves it pretty well.  It certainly
addresses the question of how a document containing multiple
namespace-qualified information items can arrange for them to be
validated by independent, pre-existing schemas for those namespaces.
