Hi Pete,
    Why can't we use a schema like below for this need (using
elementFormDefault="qualified").

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
                   targetNamespace="http://opportunities.org";
                   elementFormDefault="qualified">

   <xs:element name="availability">
       <xs:complexType>
           <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="from" type="DATE" />
              <xs:element name="to" type="DATE" />
              <xs:element name="person" type="PERSON" />
           </xs:sequence>
       </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>

   <xs:complexType name="DATE">
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="day" type="xs:int" />
            <xs:element name="month" type="xs:int" />
            <xs:element name="year" type="xs:int" />
        </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>

   <xs:complexType name="PERSON">
       <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" />
            <xs:element name="height" type="xs:int" />
       </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>
