I agree with Simon. I can't think of anything you can do with an internal
XSchema that you can't do with an external XSchema, so including them in 1.0
just means having to wrangle over a bunch of rules for resolving duplicate
XSchemas. With the recent partial validation discussions, this gets even
uglier...
