Change the XML representation (and possibly the component structure)
of local element declarations to at least allow, if not require, all
particles to be references, with scope, i.e. put the local
declarations directly under <complexType>

(Cf. no-nesting (#no-nesting)).

This is subsumed by proposals to deal with RQ-17.

It will stand or fall with the "landscape"
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Apr/0091.html)
proposal for RQ-017 and friends.  If that proposal succeeds, this
requirement will be discharged; if not, we are unlikely to do this on
its own.
