I am not sure this technical distinction helps the average schema writer.
For example, rewriting an ambiguous schema so it is merely non-deterministic
won't help XML Schema users. ;-}
The only case I can think of where the distinction makes any difference is
in XML Schema union types, which are allowed to be non-deterministic but are
not unambiguous because of the first-match rule.
