Thanks to Jeni and Mike

for making me aware of what xsl:import-schema does.

I've missed this -- most probably because "import-schema" and "import"
generally (or at least to me) means "get from another file".

A much better name in this particular case would be "define-schema"

Having said that, I'm happy to be proven incorrect. Actually not
extremely happy, as XSD does not happen to be the most elegant xml
schema language.

Why it can't be... let's say RNG ? :o)


Cheers,
Dimitre.
