3d model xml schema - need comments

i need some feedback on the following model structure. please take a look at my xml schema, and tell me what you think. i'm trying to store bone hierarchy, meshes, and animations, one model per file. - bones: store initial transform, name, and parent name. should be able to form hierarchy from this. - meshes: sort by material, then by bones used. mesh subsets are allowed a total of 3 bone influences, and they store the bones they use. - animations: store scalar, rotation, and translation keys and their respective "times" and target bones. more than one animation set allowed per file. - it should be pretty intuitive if you look at the hierarchy of the "Data" element in some sort of schema diagram viewer.
