Right. In XML Schema 1.0, xs:anyURI is supposed to approximate IRI. XML Schema 1.1 [1] makes it clearer that an xs:anyURI is an IRI, though the validation rules were relaxed to allow any string, so if you were using Xerces' XML Schema 1.1 processor you wouldn't get that particular error for the targetNamespace.
