A possibility to bind XMLSchema to <instance> element, not only to <model>. What do you think? from Victor Bolshov on 2006-09-21 (www-forms@w3.org from September 2006)

I've got an idea that seems to me quite interesting.

I think it would be useful if the form authors could bind XMLSchema to 
<instance> elements. (something like <instance schema="schema.xsd">). 
With such a feature, the <bind> elements could "know" the datatype for a 
given nodeset directly from the schema, without the need to specify a 
"type" attribute. Currently, the authors need that attribute - but this 
leads to code duplication - we need to bind nodes to their types both in 
XMLSchema and in the XForms model.

Regards, Victor.
