You are correct. I started revising my patch against the specs but never
finished it due to a bunch of other commitments. However what I learnt
during the little time I spent on this was that my patch to implement
xs:override covers most (if not all) of the requirements stated in the
specs.

That's great. However I would like if you can first take the patch I have
submitted and start from where I've left instead of beginning from the
scratch. It's a pretty simple code so I'm sure you can get hold of the logic
implemented there easily.

Also now that the GSoC is over and some of the other Apache releases I've
been working on in the past few weeks are coming to an end I'll have some
time to actually devote to this in the weeks to come. So I can help you with
revising the patches and refining the design/implementation.
