Where did you check? The namespace was constantly changing in the specs at
that time, and as a result each Saxon release supported a different version
(sometimes multiple versions). 

Looking at the change log, the "xs" namespace has been supported since Saxon
8.7.1.

I suggest you move forward to Saxon 8.9.0.2 to leave behind you all the
issues caused by changes in successive working drafts.
