Also there is nothing stopping the .gc file being the maintenance 
format, and an XSD (or, indeed, Schematron) schema fragment being 
generated from that .gc file. For example, available from a cached URL.

This kind of layering is where XSD gets it all wrong at the moment. 
(Things like derivation checking should be a separately specified layer 
on top of the schema, a cost bourne by the niche users who need it, 
rather than built-in, for example.)
