getting Metadata from schema not in XMPConst?

Hi there PS-Scripters,
I'm stuck on a JavaScript XMP API problem...
I've been asked to edit a metadata field that is entered via a custom panel with a unique schema. (xmlns:xwnv="http://ns.xinet.com/ns/xinetschema#">) Through the forum here I've found some great scripts that have helped me to read and write metadata namespaces to all kinds of default locations. (Thanks guys!) But they have always been included in that handy list of JavaScript XMP API schema namespace string constants. ... What do I do if is not on that list? Any suggestions?

Maybe export XMP rawData to some TXT editable format, search and replace, and then load back in?
Can I somehow load that custom schema via the Bridge SDK ?
Has anyone else ran into this problem?

Thanks!

If you look at SnpModifyMetadata.jsx from the Bridge SDK it explains how it's done.
There are a couple of example using custom metadata...
