Yes, but...
I agree that subtyping is a semantic relationship and that's why I think
that it would be appropriate to use annotations to express this notion
in RELAX NG.
There are cases where things are already clear enough in a RELAX NG
schema to detect these relations (typically in my examples corresponding
to extension and substitution groups).
And it would also be useful to be able to check if a schema is a
restriction or an extension of another one. This is a different concept
which is purely about validation but tools to check this would be very
useful in a number of situations.
