An XSD wrapper document to parameterize the validation: what would that look
like?

I've seen people getting into a real mess by deciding that fields were 
mandatory because the data model says there must be a value, but the 
fact that there is a value doesn't mean the value has to appear in every 
message.

One solution to that might be to allow an XSD wrapper document 
to supply the parameters, so when you name a schema document to use for 
validation, it has the parameter values already bound.
