I agree with Simon.  I can't think of anything you can do with an internal 
XSchema that you can't do with an external XSchema, so including them in 1.0 
just means having to wrangle over a bunch of rules for resolving duplicate 
XSchemas.  With the recent partial validation discussions, this gets even 
uglier...
