Yes, but I think you could put that in the schema: adding "or"
requirements such that at each level, either a syntactically valid tag
is needed, or a derivable tag is need. Something where any of the
following cases would syntactically validate:
<tagOne>
<tagTwo>value</tagTwo>
<tagTwo>value</tagTwo>
</tagOne>
<tagOne>
<tagTwo derived="true" />
<tagTwo derived="true" />
</tagOne>
<tagOne derived="true" />
