It's a URI so doesn't have to act like a URL http://www.pbcore.org/PBCore/PBCoreNamespace.html

Namespace URLs don't have to point to a specific location. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespace The Namespaces specification does not say what should happen if such a URL is dereferenced (that is, if software attempts to retrieve a document from this location). One convention adopted by some users is to place an RDDL document at the location. In general, however, users should assume that the namespace URI is simply a name, not the address of a document on the Web.

So it could point to the schema page.

Thanks! I'll edit the ticket to reflect this.
