Hi Gavin,

You need to define three schema files (one for each namespace and the main 
one that is not associated with any namespace).  Then in, for example, the 
no-namespace schema, do:

    <xs:element ref="bar:charlie"/>

or:

    <xs:attribute ref="foo:msg"/>

The reffed to elements and attributed in the reffed XSD file do have to be 
global though.  I don't know whether this presents a problem when reffing 
parts of SVG.

HTH,
