I don't believe that having a namespace association at such a high level
will cover the cases in which more than one namespace is referenced in a
schema or XML document (I say documents because it is possible that someone
can specify a local namespace in an XML document, thus overriding the
target
namespace).  Rather, it would cause a single namespace to be associated
with
all constructs in a schema or XML document, which many times will not be
the
case as multiple namespaces may be used.

Joe,

That is why you can associate more than one classification to a schema.

This is exactly how namespaces work - there's the parent one - and then
optionally one or more supplemental ones.

And even better - because the classification is a tree structure - you
can know that if a schema is at this node - then potentially these other
namespaces may be related by examining the tree.   This you cannot
do in Schema.
