Title: Schema Design Flow The diagram is helpful, thanks. But one nitpick, I don't see how the final branch All local can be possible. You always need at least one global element to represent the document root. So an extreme case would be that the document root exposes the instance namespace, but all child elements are written without a namespace prefix (unqualified local elements).

To help me keep it all straight, I asked two of my developers - Joe Chiusano and Jessica Glace - to put together a flowchart that shows all the interdependencies of the various features. Although they are still just getting started on this, I wanted to share with you what they have done so far since it seems to apply to our discussions, and may also be something we want to put in our design document.
