RE: text of "xs:override" proposal

The proposal is still on the table, I have no idea whether it's likely to
make it into Schema 1.1.

As far as Saxon is concerned, I'm trying to concentrate my attention on
implementing features as they are approved, and at present I'm resisting the
tendency to do extensions.
