This is actually intentional and it has to do with the IntelliSense
support in VC++ 8.0. For some reason it does not like fully-qualified
names here so we had to use the unqualified version as a work-around.
If you remove --generate-intellisense from the command line, everything
should work out of the box (apart from IntelliSense in VC++ 8.0). If
you need the IntelliSense support and cannot upgrade  to VC++ 9.0 then
I am afraid the only way to fix this is to re-map your 'xsd' namespace
to some other name with the help of the --namespace-map option.

Thanks, I am glad you enjoy it.
