Ah, yes.  I missed that.  Thanks very much.  And thanks to Ken for his 
very helpful example.

I extended things a bit by using attribute groups in the imported schema 
so I could apply different pattern constraints to the values depending 
on where the attributes are being used in the importing schema.  Is 
there a cleaner approach available for doing this?

I did stumble over one other (figurative) root in the path: the W3C 
tutorial at [1] makes it look (in the example for section 2.8) as if 
you're supposed to use "id" instead of "name" to identify an 
attributeGroup you're defining, but I'm guessing that's just a 
typographical error, because the schema processors don't seem to like 
it. :-)
