Actually a clearer example of what I mean would be if the creator and
consumer of the MODS record -- a single instance -- are two different
parties.  I create a document and send it to you.  It is valid against
both schemas.  As far as I'm concerned, they represent the same
document *type* (I left that word out of my prevous message) .. sort
of.

The RNG design doc explains why thiese distinctions might matter.
