    <thetext>Minor comment from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-ig/2008Mar/0001.html 

4.5.1.2: Since XML Schema uses XPath 1.0 rules for names, surely the
NCName: isn&apos;t optional, it _must_ be present, and in any case, it
should be stated that there must be an NS Binding for that prefix to
the SML namespace in scope.</thetext>
