Bruno,

yes, this is correct.

Yes, I think this is a very good idea.
Generally, the featureclass and featureschema names are used to uniquely 
identify a physical table in datastore.
Considering we are going to support multiple PostgreSQL schemas and
multiple FDO schemas/classes, this solution should be sufficient.
