This is probably the wrong list if you want a
really accurate history of the answer, or really want to push for a
change. Actually, it's probably the wrong list altogether since it doesn't
have anything to do with Xerces specifically.
But here's a couple of quick thoughts from
someone's who's been using XML for a couple of years:
1. You can have something of an inheritance in that
namespace B can include everything in namespace A and more. (Just define
it with the same elements, plus.)
2. In terms of validation, both DTDs and XML Schema
have ways of incorporating other DTDs/schemas that make the above step
easier.
This works with a single name for the namespace,
just like in Java you only need one name for the class. I'd recommend
taking a good look at XML Schema, you can probably get it to do what you need,
even if the syntax isn't exactly what you were looking
for.
