Understanding the constraints on a simpleType is important for understanding an element or attribute of that type.  

Having a single, standalone representation of a simpleType makes it easier to understand its constraints.

I am developing a library of XML Schema programming idioms. This is one of the idioms. I use it frequently in my applications that process XML Schema documents.
