Can we make status attribute required?

I just noticed that the 1.0 VOResource.xsd has it where "status" is not required (created&updated are required). This is an attribute that is queried on a numerous amount of times. And I suspect would be nice if it was required instead of optionally being stored.

In the XQuerySearch a client may need to query for not('inactive') and not('deleted') to try and get consistent results, but even then I am not sure if it will get the elements/nodes if there is no status attribute defined/stored with the Resource.

Thought I would put it as a request and see what other people thought on the mailing list.
