I looked at the schemas and indeed they use the first approach I 
described (wildcards). In particular, look at the vx:Event element
under the Shape element in your sample XML. This element is allowed
by the xsd:any wildcard in ShapeSheet_Type (visio.xsd, line 157).

I am not sure what you mean by "interrupted". If you compiled your schemas
with the --generate-wildcard option (and following other instructions from
the 'wildcard' example), then the content corresponding to the vx:Event
element will be stored in the object model as a DOM fragment. This fragment
can then be parsed into the object model fragment, again, as shown in the
'wildcard' example.

The vision.xsd schema declarations are placed into the 'core' C++ 
namespace, while both visio12.xsd and visio14.xsd are both mapped
to the 'extension' C++ namespace. So, yes, you will need to use the
--namespace-map option to map the last two files to different C++
namespaces.
