RE: Importing schemata into WSDL

Oh, I think that xsd:import is used ONLY for XSD schemas. If we want to
pull in Relax NG schemas then that should be done with a different
element. Given people would need a new attribute on wsdl:part anyway, in
order to refer to Relax NG constructs, it doesn't seem too burdensome to
coin another element.
