That is not the only one we don't have.
- the capability to declare patterns as a restriction of another and
let the processor check it.
- multipart key
- runtime type substitution by using xsi:type. From the way I see it, this
is by far the biggest problem.
- lax validation
... and more.
So as for your proposal, I don't think it's necessary.
1. I don't think its widely used, nor it's a good technique as David
says.
2. The complexity for the implementation/spec is non-trivial.
