What do you mean as namespace is really just namespace prefix the only meaning of which is to point out at namespace URI.

So, you'd better declare schema namespaces in your stylesheet and use 
your own favorite prefix.
<xsl:stylesheet ... xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
...
<xsl:template match="xsd:complexType//xsd:sequence"

Such kind of pattern will match sequence elements in "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; namespace despite of their namespace prefixes in the source document.
