RE: What good is Restriction?

Don't laugh (too hard) - 

We did almost that: we use Schematron as a
Post-Validation-Schema-Constraint-Checker (PVSCC?). Because derivation by
restriction is so - restrictive - we develop "relaxed" models (all content
optional) and then layer on the minimum occurrence constraints as a separate
specification (validated in a separate, post-validation check). 

We'd love to find a standard way to express these constraints (and the
obvious and widely discussed co-occurrence constraints) in a schema, include
the schema of our relaxed model to which they apply, and then have the
schema-validating-constraint-checker do the rest for us.

Here's the solution: XSML -> XML Schema Macro Language

Just tack on  an XML Schema  preprocessor - voila!   Call the result the
Pre Schema Parsing Infoset (PSPI). 

What? You want me to go away??
