Rick,

I completely agree with your conclusion.  DTD [expletive deleted], XML-Schema is only
marginally better, we need something more flexible.  You might be interested
in reading an interesting paper Dave Raggett (the HTML 4.0, Tidy guy) wrote
that includes your 'parent model' idea.  The paper is at:

http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/dtdgen/Docs/

I wouldn't mind having this 'Assertion Grammars' replace the current
XML-Schema proposal.  Frankly, I am tired of tip-toeing around what W3C
thinks is the right way of doing things.

I had a great time reading it and I am sure it will definitely shake some of
you up.  It is a must read for everyone.

Best,
