XMLSpy certainly has and has had its share of problems. And I'm not at all
sure what the xsd spec says about this situation, if indeed it says anything
at all. However, if METS and MODS are going to use xlink schemas that are
identical to the point of declaring the same targetNamespace, wouldn't it
still make sense just to make them one in physical fact?
