The listing below sets the (simplified) scene. An element "List" contains and number of As and Bs. I'm happy with that schema. I then want to create an alternative schema with an additional identity constraint, viz. a keyref to ensure that all As reference a valid B. For the obvious s/w engineering reasons I would like the alternative schema to be based on the original (not copied) so I feel I should be using redefine. I can't make this work, feel I am swimming against a stream and therefore assume that I have got it all wrong somewhere. Can I use redefine to add identity constraints? Should I be going about this some other way?
