I can't find xsd:double anywhere. Isn't the part before the colon just a 
namespace that can be redefined arbitrarily? The way I understand it, we 
use xs: for the name space at www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema, and we use 
the blank namespace for our stuff. I don't recall ever seeing another name 
space.
