It's the "etc", that I wonder about - it seems that the focus of XSchema is being
narrowed to a point where some "etc" will not be able to make use of XSchema without
violating the intent. The problem is that the intent may not have accounted for a
slightly different processing model - might the same application require multiple
XSchema for different tasks, or would you design them more loosely to reduce
redundancy? This would seem to be a subjective call and a natural for protracted
discussion.

It's not so much about working on fragments as it is ensuring that current, common
data handling processes aren't locked out of using XSchema because we aren't looking
around enough. The narrower the range of uses XSchema is appropriate for, the less
chance of it succeeding.
