Ok - my apologies. I have a follow-up question of a more general nature 
- I'll post it to xmlschema-dev.

Thanks very much Jeni and Priscilla. Your answers were most helpful

The "adapator schema" was very interesting - but I think the 
substitution group approach may be a easier.

I am however starting to question the value of doing an "all-at-once" 
validation - or if I shouldn't just do the validation in a 2 stage 
process - validate against Main first (ignoring any child elements of 
Stuff) - then extracting the Stuff element and validating it seperately 
against its own schema. This is the question I intend to ask on 
xmlschema-dev - what approach do people think is better?

Thanks once again
