Looks pretty good to me.  Certainly easier to understand what's
intended when reading the new version.

Is it worth allowing <colocation_set> and <ordering_set> to have an
optional role attribute, which would be inherited by all children?
Or is that just more confusing (too many options not always a good
thing).
