XSV doesn't complain if you remove, say, the act:desc alternative from the
key field xpath, provided act:desc is never used in an activity instance.

However, if act:desc is used in an instance instead of act:name, it
complains "missing one or more fields...from key".

This seems right. The validation rule in 3.11.4 para 4.2 only requires that
all actual elements have unique keys. I don't see anything that requires a
processor to warn that some otherwise valid instance might have a missing
key.
