you're right, i'm really out of the scope of WXS, except for primitive types

what people would think if i use my:element ? xml:element is more
"natural" and anybody may understand what i'm talking about ; if people
encounter my:element, they could think that it has something special
regarding the usual XML element...
so, i decide anyway to keep my first idea, and warn that xml:element and
others are understandable only in the scope of the spec i'm working on
i'm just looking of a way of naming types with a qname ; and it is not
as simply as it seems
