Sorry, but this is woefully inaccurate, and I'm sickened by the thought that it might have been the XML Schemas spec that made you conclude this. Namespaces disambiguate names at the element or attribute name level. I'm sure someone out there will also qualify this as bad practice, but many of my company's document types (distinct de facto schemas) use the same namespace. There's nothing in the Namespaces spec that disallows us from doing this, or that makes us anticipate that 1-1 mappings between namespaces and schemas will be considered the world over to be the only reasonable practice.
