Coincidence, I am just writing the section of my book about this
subject...

I have a couple of questions on this topic!

It's often the case with embedded structures (in programming languages)
that each level inherits the definitions done in its "ancestors" (with
the possibility to overide them) and I am wondering why this is not the
case with Relax NG. 

Also, while it is possible to refer to named patterns of the parent
grammar, it doesn't seem to be possible to refer to named patterns of
other ancestors and I am wondering what's the reason for this.

Thanks

Eric
