SV: no targetNamespace, elementFormDefault qualified

Hmm, "" as an URI fragment would come out to be what? A same-document
reference? I guess what is being said then with an empty namespace is that
the namespace of the document is the document itself. The meaning of the
resource is contained within the resource, a hermetic namespace. 

Despite Hermeticism being deprecated I still find it a useful, or at least
interesting, concept.

I think that (at least according to the NS rec) it is a real URI, but it 
is explicitly disallowed. What I mean by disallowed I don't know-- I 
don't remember if it is a conformance requirement or not.
