Personally I suspect that with XSD 1.1, most restricted types will be
specified not by providing a restricted grammar, but by using the original
grammar in conjunction with assertions. For example, if you want to disallow
an optional element from the content model, it's much easier to assert that
the element is absent than to define a restricted grammar in which it is
omitted.
