>From 4.1 Layer :

    no element information item can be fully assessed 
    unless all the components required by any aspect of
    its (potentially recursive) ·assessment· are present in the schema.

It's unclear to me what makes a component required with respect to concepts
like lax wildcards and not-in-schema wildcards. In particular, how hard does a
processor need to work to find such potential declarations? Section 4.2.2 says
that building schemas from schema documents is all or nothing, but there seems
to be no such binding on the completeness of imported schemas.
