I see. ASN.1 cannot do magic, it has to use delimiters.
Why did you think XML Schema can do magic and work
without delimiters?
So what you may want is to have the same delimiter everywhere
rather than using a different delimiter for every type.
I guess this should be possible with local declarations.
Maybe you should try to work out an example.
