It's not up to the XSchema designers to select the namespace prefix --
that choice belongs to the individual users.  By all means, use "XSC"
in your examples, but according to the current namespace draft, each
user is free to pick "X", "XSchema", "Simon", or whatever she wants:
it would be useful to provide a few examples with alternative
prefixes, just to make this point clear.

You don't need a domain name, just a URL.  For example, if you were to
submit the XSchema spec as a note to the W3C, you could use the URL of
the note; alternatively, perhaps xml.com would provide you with a
stable URL that you can use.


All the best,
