As I understand it, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ section 3 seems to
indicate that the URI in this context is simply used as 'unique identifier' and
doesn't necessarily hold any meaning besides this:

  "The namespace name, to serve its intended purpose, SHOULD have the
   characteristics of uniqueness and persistence. It is not a goal that
   it be directly usable for retrieval of a schema (if any exists).
   Uniform Resource Names [RFC2141] is an example of a syntax that is
   designed with these goals in mind."

It would probably be nice (tm) though if there was actually a schema available
under that URI.


Not sure if we can change it or not.  Don't think anyone would actually notice
(I'd be surprised if the GstXML stuff worked well enough to be usable for
anything non-trivial in practice).  Besides, usually we only guarantee
backwards compatibility one way (meaning something compiled against v0.10.N+1
does not need to work if v0.10.N is dropped in), but the question is if this
applies to output like this too.
