expresso-config's goal was to be as limited as possible.  Only put in the 
items that are absolutely necessary for the Expresso configuration system 
to bootstrap itself.  Merging Schemas in with Expresso-config are likely to 
cause editing errors where controller security doesn't get set up for one 
particular controller.

So let's talk about the flip side.  There is nothing preventing you from 
creating your own schema definition in an xml file which the system reads 
and then calls the appropriate addDBObject/Job/Controller.  In fact, this 
feature will exist for Expresso 5.1.... more to come soon on this!

HTH!
