Good point! This actually applies to all schema children. They are by definition local to the schema and always addressed with qualified names. 

This is especially the case for the entity container and already reflected in the URL qualification rules for entity containers, so I changed the proposal to reflect the current state.

> 12.1.1 The Name Attribute
> The entity container MUST provide a unique SimpleIdentifier value for the Name attribute.

> It isn't clear whether this uniquess is within the scope of the Schema, or the entire metadata document. For example, consider:
> <edmx:Edmx xmlns:edmx="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edmx";
>            Version="4.0">
>   <edmx:DataServices DataServiceVersion="4.0" >
>     <Schema xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edm"; Namespace="ODataDemo1">
>       <EntityContainer Name="DemoService" IsDefaultEntityContainer="false">
>       </EntityContainer>
>     </Schema>
>     <Schema xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edm"; Namespace="ODataDemo2">
>       <EntityContainer Name="DemoService" IsDefaultEntityContainer="false">
>       </EntityContainer>
>     </Schema>
>   </edmx:DataServices>
> </edmx:Edmx>
> Note how there are two DemoService containers, each is unique within the scope of its parent Schema. However DemoService is not unique within the metadata document.
