  ACK, but there is a limit to this kind of refinements. Basically
the schemas will always have to be more permissive than the internals,
for example some constructs are allowed only for some values of
attribute type on top level element, and except making the schemas
unmaintainable, I don't think it's feasible to have the RNG model
exactly the actual set accepted. It's really 2 different models of
validation.
