With one or two unimportant exceptions, such as key/keyref, I believe 
that the cost of XSD validation is indeed linear with the size of the 
document being validated.

OK. It seems (a) your use of the word "namespace" has nothing to do with 
XML namespaces, which is what confused me, and (b) you are saying, in 
some detail, that Javascript is a language which has traps for the 
unwary programmer. I'm sure you're right. So do most languages.
