Tim,
To the extent that I understand what you are trying
to do, I think I'd go with customizing the stylesheet.
I prefer not to mess with the schema unless I have to.

> When rendered, a Figure is numbered as chapter.figure

> The 'Output' element is like a Figure, but appears only in
> Examples, and is numbered as chapter.example.output
>
> There are of course references to both Figures and Outputs.
