Yes. The point of this extension is that it's an extension, intended
in part to serve a model of what extensions should look like. If we
throw our hands up and change the core specifications every time an
extension comes along, we're admitting that we got the extension
mechanism wrong.
Ray's approach of using separate URIs for a schema depending on
whether it's functioning as a data or metadata schema gets the job
done.
