I fully agree with what you are saying, and can happily confirm that
this is indeed the idea: The added vocabulary will go into an extension
profile, and thus be available as a separate module, to be explicitly
referenced from a different namespace.
In fact, I hope that a similar strategy may be chosen for other ports,
such as the Website and Slides vocabularies, when they are ported to
DocBook 5.
