Should be doable: the non-normative DTD [1] of schema structures reminds me there's id attribute of type ID available for complexType element. Same applies to simpleType in the other DTD [2]. I am not dreaming of implementing full XML schema validation support in an RDF processor but certainly simpleTypes should be a resonable thing to do. Perhaps Xerces has a modular structure that would allow using only data type validation specific parts. Experience, anyone?
