Input from Straw Poll O-11

NOTE 2002-08-02: there was some support at our face to face meeting
for promoting this to desideratum, and some for removing it, and some
for handling it as a clarification with erratum for XML Schema 1.0
Second Edition; there was most support for leaving it as an
opportunistic desideratum.  In the absence of consensus to move it, we
left it alone.  There was speculation that if we get good text for
this, the WG might be willing to put it into 2E anyway.

This item was resolved in the meeting of 2004-03-18
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2004Mar/0060.html),
with the observation that it is already possible to use inline schemas
and that a task force is working on the area.

The WG eventually concluded that this could usefully be handled in a 
separate note.  A draft has been prepared but not yet approved.
