Per our talks yesterday.... here's the new pseudo schema:

  <mex:GetMetadata ?>
    (<mex:Dialect>xs:anyURI</mex:Dialect>
      (<mex:Identifier>xs:anyURI</mex:Identifier>)?
    )?
    (<mex:Content> xs:anyURI </mex:Content>)*
  </mex:GetMetadata>

And the proposed set of changes are:
- define the default, when the mex:Content element is missing, as 'any'
- define a new URI for 'any' so people can be explicit if they want
- define a new URI for 'all' - meaning send back all metadata that is 
allowed to be sent back
- clarify that 'skip' means that if a service is unable to send back the 
requested content then no metadata section will be sent back for that content.

When not present the default is as current defined - up to the service to 
decide which (and how many) to return. We then need to define 5 URIs for 
each of the formats - eg:
        http://.../mex/content/EPR
        http://.../mex/content/URI
        http://.../mex/content/metadata
        http://.../mex/content/any
        http://.../mex/content/all
