My question was whether there's some trick to avoiding this that I haven't grokked and, assuming not (given I've of course read the documentation and far too many web ramblings as well, along with goodly chunks of the code), whether anyone has a patch that would produce the fairly obvious solution of letting people store (what is, after all, meta-schema information that doesn't logically belong in an editor variable) this directive inside their .rnc schema file as an annotation?

I apologise if I misinterpreted the question. I can now state that I
really don't understand it.
fyi. Having used nxml-mode since it was released (by James Clark, not
emacsen) I have never had to use nxml-section-element-name-regexp
so I can't see what the problem was. I assumed (wrongly it seems) that
you wanted to associate another schema with some subset of
the document that was not a valid start point for the schema in use.

Clearly, it's not a design anybody who works on a wide variety of schemas would find tolerable, unless there's a trick I've missed.

I do work in docbook, but also about a dozen others, some my own...
how does this affect your question?

Clearly not. I use elisp a little, but not enough to rise to JC level of code.
