I can think of two uses of XML Schema that extend it in
this way
1.) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sqlxml3/htm/ssxsdannotations_0gqb.asp
2.) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/_mapping_xsd_relationships_to_dataset_relationships.asp
I'm
sure more could be found with judicious use of Google.

This is a good example, but I am not concerned about this
situation.
Let's suppose that you will use some
attributes that will actually influence the validation performed with your
Schema. Is that a good practice ? Is it widespread ? Currently, I never
encoutered a project in which XML Schema is extended in this way.
