While I agree that it does chafe to hear someone say, "you do not need to know..." the fact is that he's right. Any non-trivial schema design, in my case several hundred unique sub-systems, each represented as an individual schema to create a view of the entire system, will prove that his commentary hits close to home. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that current deficiencies in specific aspects of Schema make these aspects worth ignoring until they are improved. But then, since when have developers cared about being PC. With some simple changes to restriction and extension, I would once again use complexType widely. Until they do, forget it. I have real work to do.
