This is exactly what I mean though.  A company has extended the schema
using "extension", yet I don't want their additional features.  I just
want to validate the base schema is ok.  I can't.  It is all or nothing.
 I have to validate base schema plus the companies additional
elements(their extension), or I can't validate it at all.

[Dare Obasanjo] If the base complex type has a wildcard with processContents="lax" then you can get what you want. 

 The only thing is I think it is much cleaner to do extension.
 It is like OO. 

[Dare Obasanjo] W3C XML Schema isn't like OO, it seems like it is but it isn't. I've gone into this in more detail at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/10/29/derivation.html
