XML Schema reference - pre pre alpha at ZVON

Hello,
I am a member of the crying mob complaining about the complexity of XML
Schema Spec and as I do not want to be
only a critique (it is an easy task to be one :) ), I have started a new
Zvon project: XML Schema reference, 
I have published a preview on: http://zvon.org/Temp/Output/index.html. I
am trying to translate the spec
to a language someone with Ph.D. in technical sciences can understand
and demonstrate its use on  examples
(in this preview there are  e.g. for <xsd:element> )

I am afraid that this task is really stretching my capabilities to the
limit, I could write a reference to XSLT from the spec, I even managed
to write a RDF tutorial according to the spec (and it was really
difficult to grasp), but with the XML Schema I just cannot understand
many bits so forgive my frequent posting I expect to send, but I guess
that such a reference will be appreciated by mortals who want to take
full use of XML Schema.

And my first question (I sent it to xml-dev, but have not received any
answer):


facets maxExclusive, minExclusive, maxInclusive, minInclusive can be
used on types like:

ENTITY, ID, IDREF, QName, NOTATION, ...

but they cannot be used on:

string, NCName, uriReference, ...


QName, which can have these facets, consist of namespace name
(uriReference) and local part(NCName),
both of them cannot have these facets, how does it fit together?


How should be ID's ordered to apply these facets (again ID's are sets of
NCNames, which cannot have these facets)?
