That's more or less what I had in mind. It would be nice if from a multitude
of Schemas you could just generate your own Schema...a job for XSLT I
suppose.

I don't think so: using properties of RDF means that they can be understood
by RDF processors, whereas XLink doesn't even have a way of including the
linked document into the refering documents parse tree (see Eve Maler's
current thread on xml-dev).

Ah, if you mean including them as properties in RDF-S, then that would work.
Actually, that's a very good idea [RDFS WG, are you watching?] :-)
