Of course.  But even trang, concentrated essence of James Clark's brilliance
that it is, can't do more than can be done.  If you need to have a WXS
output that's equivalent to your RNG original, then you need to design
that original with an eye to WXS limitations.  Otherwise you wind up with
a WXS schema that's looser than the original, which is often sufficient
but other times is not.

The same story applies to DTDs, of course.

I had forgotten about this.
