There are two reasons, both for user convenience. First, it allows multiple attribute declarations for the same element; in this case, the Element attribute of the AttList element points to the relevant ElementDecl. Second, it is a convenient shorthand for an attribute applying to all elements; in this case, the Element attribute of the AttList element is omitted. > 2.1 The XSchema Element > > [snip] > > The XSC:XSchema element contains other elements describing the XSchema and > building a schema.

I think it would be useful to explain further why an XSchema might be nested under another XSchema. In my mind, the major reason is reusability -- this structure means that the contents of two XSchemas can simply be placed inside the contents of a third XSchema. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
