Currently when the 3mfEditor finds an unknown namespace it fails the validation. This prevents to validate 3MF containing information in private extensions from vendors, unknown by the consumer.
Suggest to add a new feature, with an option to enable/disable, to change the behavior to just warn of an unknown non-required extension, and continue with the validation. If the extension is required, I think that better still fail.
To places for unknown extensions: model header and .rels relationship for other files in the OPC.
