Re: [dita] Suggested TC position WRT XSD usage from DITA 1.3 onward
And the "XSD 1.1 feature issues" have
      been discussed several times--this was one public disclosure:

      Last week we started discussing the emerging dark reality of XSD's
      inability to handle constraints without direct editing, which
      mungles the DITA design pattern. So I'm reiterating many past
      discussions by suggesting that it's time to add a small statement
      into the spec that, besides moving to RNC as the normative
      declaration of ongoing DITA design patterns, that we add a new
      disclaimer that summarizes our past difficulties with XSD features
      needed for DITA (the XSD 1.1 feature issues need to be logged for
      historical reasons) and clarifying how to amend/create a one-off
      XSD instance that represents modifications that normally would be
      supported by RNC/DTD rules. I think we discussed this last week,
      but I hope we can get to disposition this week.
