Thanks Mark. Just a few matters that I'd like to clarify. Does this 
pattern apply when,

1. All schemas share a common, top-level schema which defines a 
top-level element and in turn imports lower-level schemas that define 
lower-level elements etc.

2. The element that I wish to "override" is not directly imported by the 
top-level schema.
