1) minLength-only is interesting. Most of the use cases I'm running into
have data going into database fields with strict length limitations, but
still a good thought.
2) examplotron itself has eg:define/eg:content, which I probably will be
looking at fairly soon. FWIW, the current implementation spits out only
a single XML Schema simpleType no matter how many times the same
datatype value (either enumerated or limited-length) is used.
3) In general, anything where the system tries to make a best guess is
subject to overriding. The trick is to do it without re-creating all of
XForms :)
