A final '2010' version of my suggested 'MicroXSD' schema: attached and below.

This MicroXSD just supports local elements and attributes to support a MicroXML
profile with a single 'xmlns' namespace attribute (no namespace prefixes) in the
XML instances.

---------
With best regards and best wishes for 2011
