Progress is underway to layer type information over RELAX NG.
Probably only a subset of schemas will work: precisely those that
don't assign contradictory types.  This schema, e.g., will probably
not work:

	baz1 = element baz {attribute foo {text}?, attribute bar {text}}
	baz2 = element baz {attribute foo {text}, attribute bar {text}?}

because the type of <baz foo="foo" bar="bar"> is both baz1 and baz2.
