This is the clue to the problem, but not the solution.
XML::Compile does not support translators for types, but only for
elements. Therefore, it generates elements.  On this spot

        my $doc     = $node->ownerDocument;
        my $altnode = $doc->createElementNS(SCHEMA2001, 'element');
        $altnode->setNamespace($ns => $prefix);
        $altnode->setAttribute(name => $name);
        $altnode->setAttribute(type => $type);

generates
   <element xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      name="command" type="test_command"/>
Now, it expects "test_command" to be in the schema namespace.

I'll think of a clean solution, but first have to do some work.
