My comments were aimed squarely at the C++ comments, not really
considering XML-Schema. Thinking of what would be more 'elegant,'
though, still brings me back to the C++/LSP way of treating these
substitutability problems. What other ways are there? If your program
is expecting data _or_ a capability of form A and it encounters
something that cannot mimic A, then what can it do?
