This one I think requires work from the schema side, not the RDDL side.
You might check out RELAX Core (the original ISO TR) and RELAX
Namespace, which took an interesting approach to this issue.

You might want to take a look at Dynamic Delegation Discovery System
(DDDS):

There has been some discussion
(http://www.google.com/search?q=RDDL+DDDS&btnG=Google+Search ,

how RDDL and DDDS could interact.

Good to hear that it's a good start. Since I rarely care about
"solutions for the entire set of problems" once we're past the
syntactical foundations of markup, that seems okay to me.
