The problem with using the XML Schema namespace as target namespace is
that it messes up name lookup, fundamental namespace generation, etc,
etc.

So the way I would handle this is use some other target namespace in
the schema, save the object model to DOM and then change the namespace
to the XML Scheme namespace at the DOM level (see the 
DOMDocument::renameNode() function for details). The same logic can also
be applied to parsing, if you need this.
