 >The factory gets access to the new element's name and the current 
element stack including attributes. This is somewhat richer than XML 
Schema, which requires that the [type] of an element be determinable 
using the new element's name and the names of the elements in the 
current stack.

Actually that describes rather precisely what XSD 1.1 allows.

Giving access to the attributes of ancestor elements is a bit 
questionable because it means the validity/type of an element depends on 
the element's context and not only on its content. It got into XSD 1.1 
because of the xml:lang use case and the influence of the I18N police.
