The WG felt that the feature would add to the complexity of the spec/implementations and decided not to include it. In the scope of schema v1.1 I don't think the WG will feel this feature is important enough, but there is some chance of it making its way into schema v2. To help that happen, can you provide a specific use case as to why the feature "may be useful"? pvb
