Ach... it seems to work pretty well, but doesn't solve my trouble since
trang can't handle embedded grammars.
One niggle - it inserts <rng:div> tags where it does the inclusions -
which messes up oxygenxml since it doensn't recognize those tags.I think
they're legal since the rng tools should just ignore those; probably
just an oxygenxml quirk.
So the idea of breaking up the schema into modular parts that could be
used standalone or in combinations won't work.
Right?
This is my first schema, so maybe i'm just doing something stupid...
see below for an example.
