Hi Mark, Brute force is the way to do it and it only works if your working set at the time of your search is the complete set (obviously needs to be finite) of schemas which could ever be loaded by your application. Otherwise you can't be sure you found everything because more schemas you didn't know about (e.g. those specified in instance documents with xsi:schemaLocation) at the time you did your analysis could be loaded later that have types which derive from the base.
