But such scoping will not be understood by applications which aren't
bound to the PSVI.  Right now, that's most applications, and I hope in
the future that continues to be most applications.

It effectively introduces a requirement that applications support W3C
XML Schemas, not just XML 1.0+Namespaces, in order to be able to process
these documents even at the level of figuring out which components are
in which vocabulary.

Maybe that's a convenient way to force users to work with W3C XML
Schema, but it seems a horrendous trap to me.
