Illuminating was the thread, because 
at the time I read it, some months later, 
I found many answers for my problems,
because I saw that I was not alone 
in getting crazy to understand the schema and
because I laughed for:

I agree, for me, first you solve names 
and references in the definitions using the 
composition-tns-labeled tree, 
and then you go on, do you think is correct ?

For resolving I intend to agument the name-definition
and the referenced-name-definition with:
    - schema component name 
    - schema component target-namespace 

In my experience it works.

If I well understand the agumented definitions I
propose fall in the humblest
category of 'skeletal components': 
definitions + names and refs resolved,
many other 'transformations' are needed 
to get to the final result...
