David brings out an interesting point -- variables in schema. Why not?
<var name="dtl">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes</var>
...
<data type="int" datatypeLibrary="$dtl"/>
ergo
var dtl = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes"
datatypes xsd = $dtl
Consider the possibilities of overriding vars with local decls versus those
in included schema.
Why would this be a bad thing?
