RE: Validating against schema subset

You can validate against a global element declaration or against a global
type definition. If it's a local element declaration with an anonymous type
then you've got problems. The only way would be either (a) to change the
schema, or (b) to wrap the element in some scaffolding that does implement a
global element declaration or type, and then validate the wrapper element.
