Remarks
The XDR schema Schema element is the document element (the top-level element) in a schema definition.
The namespaces specified using the xmlns attribute must include the namespace for the schema-defining elements (Schema, ElementType, and so on). Any prefix can be used, but it is convenient to make the Schema namespace the default namespace to avoid having to use a prefix on every XML schema element.
The XDR schema Schema element in an XML schema should also contain namespace declarations for any other schemas, such as the namespace that defines the built-in data types for the XML schema.
Example
<Schema name="fooSchema" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
</Schema>
