Yes, that complicates things. What kind of node insertion would you
need to perform? Just appending them at the end of the existing nodes 
or inserting them at specific positions?

Also, will it be possible for you to send me your schema (in a private
email) so that I could take a closer look?

No, there is no XPath support in XSD/e.

Yes, using raw DOM is always an option though not a very convenient one.
Let's see if we can figure out a way.
