In XML instances it is very simple to determine when a
prefix/namespace is allowed or not. In XML schema this is
not the case. Considering things like "redefine" of an
element which was originally declared in schema A using
a namespace which is imported from schema B - shiver!

See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlschema-dev/2002Jan/0116.html,

I wouldn't say that these things have no meaning. However, assuming
the possibility that we had a "simple XML Schema" and an extended
version (the current): Where would you place them? Again, think of
those poor souls having to implement a schema parser?
