Modes are a very good fit. You can use them directly in the application
or indirectly - as I'm doing - for providing disambiguation to the
document for simpler application processing.

Nested local types and anonymous complex types make path-based
disambiguation complicated. Matthew Fuch's NUNs are probably the
simplest approach, but they're still not that simple. They require
system thinking, not application thinking.
