The main point of using XML Schema for formally specifying XML
vocabularies is to facilitate application interoperability. I
think the smart ones will use the minimal subset expected from
all processors while the not-so-smart ones will arrive at the
same result the hard way. There are already (mis-)features in XML
Schema 1.0 that are avoided pretty much by everyone (e.g., redefine).
