there is more information here then expected. The namespace is an  
empty string here (otherwise, this element would not have been there  
at all).

The trick here (this is documented) is to define a namespace in your  
xml instance document, and have the schema define this namespace. Only  
then the validator will be able to to match the xml instance document  
and the grammar...

sure. With these validators you can force to use a specific schema for  
a document. Exist (based on validating sax parsing) can't do that  
[although, as we speak, I have some new ideas here....]
