I'm really sorry, but you're just not making sense. I never said 
SHOULD is not a requirement - and by the by, drawing this sort of 
bogus conclusion is bad form.

When I said 'overconstrain' I was thinking about turning SHOULD into 
MUST, which is what you'd be doing by using a schema to enforce the 
absence of non-namespaced element names as SOAP body children - ie 
you'd be subsetting SOAP.

Like I said - no doubt,

I imagine we're way off topic now. I'll wait and see if Tim Bray 
found the rng helpful.
