VS.NET uses target namespace to pick correct XSD from schema cache (all
schemas in current project are part of this cache). AFAIK XML editor in
VS.NET doesn't recognize xsi:schemaLocation and
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes. It's weird as XML parser in
.NET library handle these attributes.

Dont't add namespace to your DocBook documents. Appropriate mods to
stylesheets means complete hassle. As XSLT doesn't have notation of
default namespace for XPath expression you will end up with modifying
several thousands of XPath expression in stylesheets.
