The XML representation of schema
components uses a vocabulary
identified by the namespace name
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. For
brevity, the text and examples in this
specification use the prefix xs: to
stand for this namespace; in practice,
any prefix can be used.
in the end xs or xsd are only prefixes. XSD is used for example more by Microsoft schemas.
The xs: and xsd: are called namespace prefixes. They are declared using xmlns elements in the root element.
By convention people tend to choose either xs: or xsd: and map that to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. Having both in a single document is confusing and should be avoided.
Check your xmlns declarations to determine what the namespaces are.
