As this is within <xsd:annotation> and only LC is defining stuff
inside so far, as long as we coordinate properly and maintain
some uniformity (such as the example above but if you want a
different localname than "Presentation", it's perfectly fine as
well), then the <!-- FPSC proposed structure --> part is mostly
up to you to put in metadata that is useful to FP.

Yes, I meant for <xsd:appinfo> to replace <xsd:documentation>;
thank you for pointing it out.
