The I-D that prompted me to raise this, draft-ietf-forces-model-09.txt, contains

 <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
       xmlns="http://ietf.org/forces/1.0/lfbmodel"
       xmlns:lfb="http://ietf.org/forces/1.0/lfbmodel"
       targetNamespace="http://ietf.org/forces/1.0/lfbmodel"
       attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
       elementFormDefault="qualified">
      <xsd:annotation>

so ForCES might be trying 4) (and I am trying to persuade them otherwise).
