John, thank you for the feedback.  If I read them correctly, your responses
on the various priority-feedback requests range from vigorous approval
of the change on which the XSD 1.1 spec requests feedback to 'this could
bite some unwary schema authors, but I have no strong objection' (i.e. no
stop-the-presses unroll-this-change-right-now responses).

W.r.t. 3.10.1, I believe the wording of the note relies heavily
on the phrase 'the current complex type' being taken as short-hand
for 'conteining complex type definition' and understood as denoting a 
schema component (i.e. an abstract object) rather than an XML element 
(which is, I guess, also an abstract object, but a different kind).  
The intent is indeed to include siblings which are inherited from
the base type; they are present in the component, even if not present
in the source declaration.

If you can think of ways to recast this material to eliminate the
apparent ambiguity or vagueness and avert the unintended reading, the
editors and working group will be grateful for suggestions.

W.r.t. 3.10.1 and the interaction of the not-in-schema wildcard
with the underspecification of schema construction in XSD 1.0 and 1.1,
your point is, I think, well taken.  As you can see, however, other 
members of the working group believe that there is not really any
difficulty in this area.
