your problem is that it does handle namespaces.

in xmllib, the element name consists of the name-
space plus the tag, not just the tag.  in other words,
there is no element named "schema" in your file.

to see for yourself, add this method to your parser
class, and run it again (you have to fix the quotes
first, of course):

   def unknown_starttag(self, tag, attributes):
       print repr(tag), attributes

the docs have more info on this:
