There is a clear relationship between the root element of a document and the
document itself, but the two are not the same. Similarly there is clearly a
relationship between the namespace of an element and its type but the two
are not the same. Similarly there _can be_ a relationship between a
namespace and the schemas and various other resources that may be used to
perform operations on elements qualified by the namespace, but still the two
are not the same.
