If you need to use namespaces to distinguish those cases then you need 
to put them in different namespaces (and so pay some syntactic ovehead 
in namespace declarations in the instance) But as you have shown it is 
possible to put them in the same namespace and distinguish by context.

You've chosen to put them both in no-namepsace which is fine but if you 
were doing that I'd put the parent elements in no namespace as well.

elementFormDefault is really just a wart in XSD and I can't see any 
reason why it would ever be set to anything other than qualifiesd
