At the risk of sounding totally ignorant (which is only half true), it occurred
to me that XLinks might cause problems here. Specifically, if I transclude part
of one XSchema document into another, am I still guaranteed unique IDs? This is
such a basic thing, that I hope XLink covers it, but I haven't dug far enough
into that spec to find out.
