perfsonar development work

Hi Jeff, all,

Great work, Jeff! The paged helped me a lot in understanding the intentions 
behind the schema format!
Just one suggestion: Some simple examples, especially for the namespace 
formats in the eventType section, would make things clearer, I think.

greetings,
Jochen
