Do you know how well xsd:redefine is supported by tools?

If many tools, at least major ones like JAXP implementations,
support it, we should take advantage of it.

If not, I think we should go for practicality: that is,
choosing chores rather than impossibles... Admittedly
not an attractive choice, though.

I'd rather not. :-)
XSD sounds too heavyweight for me.
