That is the problem, I do not agree, it has to check in cascade because there can be required properties left out, or fantasized properties which make no sense put in. Every occurring class in a dataset needs, in my opinion, to be validated, if there are no constraints, against the Reference Model-rules. By the way, you cannot validate OpenEHR datasets against an archetype by using XSD. You cannot create XSD's according archetype-constraints, not even by hand. I have been there, a few years ago.
