I suggest for your consideration the following approach to designing XML Schemas: create an XML Schema that contains a smorgasbord of well-defined, semantically-rich elements.

The most succinct description of MLHIM I have ever read.  Except for MLHIM we select complexTypes from the parent and further constrain them to fit the use case so that instances are then valid against s specific, well defined model. 

Thanks Roger.
