Did we lose set difference?  The thing that knocked me out years ago 
when Murata started talking about set operations on hedge automata was 
the result of Schema A - Schema B.  Here's the application: you rev a 
schema, then take the difference of version N - version N+1, and get a 
schema for the class of documents you've just broken.  -Tim
