This is fine; I assume also that we are not allowing the XPath axes so I
could not do:

@xsi:type = 'ConeSearch' AND descendant::publisher LIKE 'Hopkins'

Yes, this would be possible (omitting the []) but now what if there is
another extension schema vt which also defined facility?

If we are going to do the XML-proper way then we need to define what the
prefixes for each namespace are going to be so that everyone uses the
same.
