Well it's a matter of taste, but if you use the venetian blind style
of schema then you wouldn't use element ref="" much, but @type
instead, eg:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

  <xs:element name="part" type="part"/>
	
  <xs:complexType name="part">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="part" type="part" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:attribute name="serial" type="xs:string"/>
  </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>
