I found this amusing in a twisted way, it struck me that working to XSD's
strengths was synonymous with producing particularly ugly XML. 

><task>
>    <!-- common task elements here -->
>    <taskType1>
>        <!-- Task 1 things -->
>    </taskType1>
></task>

></task>

I'm sorry but are you suggesting that task has a choice of taskType1
taskType2 and so forth? Sometimes I think the worse thing that was ever put
in the xml spec was that thing about verbosity not being a problem.


Of course I've been ranting this for years (the anti xml schema stuff), they
called me mad at the academy, etc. etc.
