How would structured attributes differ from using the <all> construct.  Wouldn't the following schema give you the same effect without the periods and producing non-XML 1.0 compatible documents.


 <element name='person'>
  <complexType>
   <element name='name'>
	<type>
		<all>
			<element name="first" minOccur="0" type="string"/>
			<element name="middle" minOccur="0" type="string"/>
			<element name="last" minOccur="0" type="string"/>
		</all>
   		<attribute name='age' type='integer'/>
      </type>
   </element>
 </element>
