This seems like a reasonable statement, but then it seems just as =
reasonable
to say that one wants to bind different conceptual approaches together. =

I suppose not, do we have any stats on:

1. How many people actually use it
2. How many people have complained about the syntax
3. How many processors implement it correctly

I for one know I never use xsd:unique cause it bugs me syntactically. I =
seem
to remember having seen it mentioned in various naming and design rules =
as
being disallowed, so that might be an example of community opinion on =
it.
