Again the problem is the XHTML schema, not the RDDL document. If the
XHTML schema is written in such a way that it says "You can insert
any element from any non-XHTML namespace here" then you most
certainly can do this. I do not happen to know whether or not the
XHTML schema is so designed, though a quick search for xs:any in the
schemas implementation of XHTML modularization suggests that it does
not.

DTDs don't really allow this, but the real practical obstacle is
whether or not the individual schemas are designed to allow this.
