We decided in Barcelona that there would be no transformations on
schemas to extract one schema from another. So DSDL will not
provide any mechanism for supporting embedded schemas.

If the validator implementation itself understands the embedding
convention, it could do the extraction and processing itself, transparent
to DSDL of course.

We can revisit that decision, of course. But it seems a good simplification
to make straightaway, and it only disadvantages Schematron users, really.
But since it provides a different way to get the same functionality, it is
an understandable trade-off.
