Try using define-namespace and possibly setting --output-format:

$ java kawa.repl --output-format xml
#|kawa:1|# (define-namespace xsd "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
#|kawa:2|# (xsd:schema (xsd:element 'x) "stuff")
<xsd:schema><xsd:element>x</xsd:element>stuff</xsd:schema>

define-namespace doesn't appear to be in the manual.  Oops.
Well, it isn't fully implemented, as I don't believe it works
lexically, like it should.
