Looks legal but the reality is some
tools attempt to import the schema based
on the namespace identifier. When it gets
that "doc", it will fail because it wants a
schema, not a human readable description. The best thing
to put there today is the actual schema
or when working with these tools,
to reach in and modify the namespace
to point to the local copy of the schema.
As long as Namespaces are URLs (don't
even try to confound me with specRant),
systems will resolve them. Until
the XML community at large
comes to grip with catalogs or maybe RDDL,
we will have no reliable solution.
Conflating identity with location is a
botched design.

The best bet for the moment seems to be to put the namespace's Web
site there, so people can read the doc.
