Yes, of course.  You pointed out the problem.  

Chris, Mark, and Martin think that an attribute indicating media types 
is very useful for standalone schemas and are inclined to forget
embedded schemas for now.  I think that an attribute specifying primary 
namespaces, for example, is more useful and it works for standalone
schemas as well as embedded schemas.  I also think that the use of media
types by the referrer should be avoided, since they may be different
from what the server says.
