That nxml mode then says that the extension element is "unknown."  
Moving the declaration to the biblio-notes element solves that issue 
though.

OK thanks.  Will look into it more.

I'm now going through and cleaning up the mods schema.  Can someone 
suggest how I might simplify the below?  This is the 
auto-generated-from-the-XML-Schema stuff:

anyType =
   mixed {
     (attribute * { text }
      | element1)*
   },
   empty

and:

element0 =
   element * {
     mixed {
       (element0
        | attribute * { text })*
     }
   }

element1 =
   element * {
     mixed {
       (attribute * { text }
        | element1)*
     }
   }

The patterns get used throughout like so:

     | element displayForm { anyType }

I wonder if I can just eliminate those patterns and replace them with 
simply "text." My goal is a clean RNG schema, but also one fully 
compatible with the XML Schema, so I'm just being careful here.
