It would maybe be interesting/into EPPEXT scope, to provide some
guidance to extensions' authors, both on the namespace to use (as there
is a lot of ways, from http://whatever to urn:ietf:whatever to
urn:X-whatever and so on), and if the schemaLocation attribute
should/must be included.

There is nothing (a little on namespaces but really nothing on
schemaLocation) in RFC3735 about that and a ton of new extensions have
been created since then.

Also in fact by re-reading this RFC now I come over this part, which
does not seem to me very well in line with the existence of the IANA
registry on EPP extensions:
Extensions need not be published as Internet-Draft or RFC documents
if they are intended for operation in a closed environment or are
otherwise intended for a limited audience. In such cases extensions
MAY be documented in a file and structural format that is appropriate
for the intended audience
