You forgot an item in your list: they offer a unique possibility to get things right when things get really complicated.

For example when you do what I presently do: integrate schema information from 283 different schemas. Fortunately they use namespaces - 283 target namespaces - which enables me to keep everything clean without relying on document URIs and or any conventions, and without adding anything to existing structures (like marker attributes). I admit that I miss a lot of fun which I might have if there were no such thing as a target namespace (the shadow of namespaces).

I would start much, much further back and commiserate with you about having to integrate info from 238 different schemas. If I were dealing in an environment that broken I would start by fixing it in my local context. Pipelines much more effective in doing so than namespaces.
