At that level, I don't think there is a simple solution.  What have done in
practice is to use an XSLT stylesheet or two to extract just the item I want,
plus all of the things it depends on, from the Schema.  I can also think of one
commercial tool that might be able to do it.  I think it is beyond our
capabilities to organise the Schemas to make this easy, though (it would lead
to too many Schema files, too many includes).
