removal of xs:any namespace="##other" elements #6

elements of this type preclude type extension/importation, which are a more
robust way of allowing for schema customization

##Other fields should not be used as a band-aid for shortcomings of existing 
fields, I agree. However the schema needs a way to transport truly custom 
fields. Will add that as a new issue, if it is not already on this list.

Some options for extension:

and
http://www.xfront.com/ExtendingSchemas.html

XML Schema 1.1 might have some new features we could use as well.

the "redefine" directive looks like a good recommended method to me:

Voting was in favor of making this change.  However, it requires issue 1 be 
implemented, or else there will be no way of extending the schema until version 
4.0.  Need to discuss with AIRS to either postpone this and #1, or implement 
both in 3.1.

Discussed with Clive and decided to allow extensibility, since it wouldn't 
change the XML and removal of ##other tags was voted for.
