Uh...I think I already knew that. But thanks anyway. ;)

I should explain further why I posed that question specifically to
Peter: I was at the demo that he references, and (unless it happened
while I was on a sidebar with someone) I do not recall any aspect of
that demo covering anything less than a complete XML schema. So I
thought that perhaps he had a different interpretation of the term "XML
fragment" than the norm.
