I am not sure if this is the correct way to identify the type, what
happens if 2001 changes to 1998 or 2003? or if they use prefix instead
of the uri? Does raptor gives you always the full uri back? it seems
way to much hard wired.
W3C URI's are stable.  These URI's (presumably) refer to a published W3C 
recommendation (or are published in said recommendation), so then they 
will remain in perpetuity.

If and when a new recommendation gets published, you will need to (also) 
support the new URI's, but the old ones remain and continue to refer to 
the recommendation that is currently being implemented.

Disclaimer: I know more about W3C process than about XML Schema, so I 
don't know about the status of the recommendation or where these URI's 
actually come from.
