Well, I suggest that "manages to avoid" might be more accurate than "never
needs to." I understand that an XSD schema can have a top level declaration
for para and two other local ones. In language consistent with XSD
vocabulary, can we fill in the blank and say that each of these three
declarations is declaring a ____________? 

Otherwise, you've got a spec that describes declarations without making it
clear what they're declaring (element declarations aren't declaring
elements?), which I find it pretty confusing.
