XSD datatypes

From: Jason S <jmsachs@-----.--->

I'm using RELAX NG but my question is about XSD datatypes. Is there
any way to combine patterns? Right now I have this: (a chain of
identifiers, the first being strict e.g. starting w/ letter or
understore, the rest can be letters, numbers or underscore, the
separator being a '.')

   <define name='identifier-chain'>
      <data type="token">
         <param name="pattern">([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*)(\.[A-Za-
z_0-9]+)*</param>
      </data>
   </define>

is there any way to break this up into sub-patterns?
e.g.

<define name='identifier'>
      <data type="token">
         <param name="pattern">[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z_0-9]*</param>
      </data>
</define>
<define name='secondary-identifier'>
      <data type="token">
         <param name="pattern">[A-Za-z_0-9]+</param>
      </data>
</define>
<define name='identifier-chain'>
  <ref name='identifier' />
  <zeroOrMore>
    <data type="token">
      <value>.</value>
      <ref name='secondary-identifier' />
    </data>
  </zeroOrMore>
</define>
