The former. You cannot tell from the initial file that I wish to constrain
<x>, in this instance, only to allow <y> children, when normally
<z> is allowed too.

I claim "not possible". If this is my file:
<TEI>
<teiHeader>....</teiHeader>
<text>
<body>
<p>Hello world</p>
</body>
</text>
</TEI>
you do not know (cannot know?) that I plan to use the tei_drama schema
with it,
as opposed to the tei_prose. Its not a matter of examing the file, its a
matter of
reading intentions from my mind....
