This was suggested by a customer. Say you import or embed a schema. That schema might contain:

- enumerated values
- annotations

Currently, if you need such information, you must also include the schema into an instance. The idea of this RFE is to provide easier / more efficient access to this via XForms. Ideas include:

- providing access to the schema as a document (then using e.g. a custom function to extract information from it)
- an extension function such as `xxf:schema-annotation($instance-element, $lang?)`
