But these are not document models for UBL transaction documents, these are
document models for behind-the-curtain processes.
W3C Schema isn't powerful enough to express what we would like to express.

What is the breadth of scope of the NDR? I understood them to be only for
the models of the instances used for transactions. The work we are doing
is not expressing constraints on a UBL transaction document, but on support
files.
Should we be handcuffed by W3C Schema everywhere?
