That's not exactly what you are asking for, but Bob DuCharme's schema
stages may be a partial answer to your problem:

Basically, you'll have to edit your schemas and flag (using annotations)
what you don't want to keep. A XSLT transformation would then generate
your smaller subset(s).

Hope this helps.
