I prefer a model similar to that used with XMLSchema.

In other words, don't standardize anything, but include an option to  
declare which standards an endpoint conforms to.  It would be also  
convenient to support shorthand prefixes and default namespaces in the  
same manner as XML.

This requires no change to OSC itself, only some extra meta-data at  
the transport layer (e.g. in a MIME header).
