	Yes, and its wrong, in my opinion, to put these things in a "headings" file. That
	stuff is not supposed to be critical as to whether the code compiles or is
	valid, headings is simply a comment about the file itself. What happens to the file
	if the user doesnt use the system directory for headings (in fact, this is what I did
	just after an update from CVS and ran the xmlschemawriter... ALL my files where
	garbage since they didnt include the kosher headings file!!) 

	Futhermore, under your prescription, we no longer use the package name in the 
	targetnamespace, and xmlns: for the package must be hand edited to make what 
	is there match namespace in the generated file. Admittedly, you probably will be editing 
	this anyways since the URI is so fakey, but in the future, one of the global parameters 
	for xmlschemawriter will be the abilityto supply the URI for the target and package 
	namespaces, so having this in the headings file is again moot.

	 I continue to want the processing instruction and start schema node
	in the xmlschemawriter, not in the headings file.
