What I mean is the following. Say there are Server 1 has schema A and
server 2 has schema B. Schema A conforms to DCX. Then we have the
following request response relation:

Request  |  response server 1
DCX        |  DCX or A (same schema but both names apply)
A             |  A
B             | error

Request  |  response server 2
DCX        |  error
A             |  error
B             |  B

In the first case the client does not know schema A, but as a response
on a DCX request he may conclude that A corforms to DCX.

OK.

...  Eh?!  Now you really _have_ lost me.

Are you saying you want a special case so that when the client asks
for DCX, then and only then the server can respond with other schemas?
That's not on.  If you want that weird behaviour, you'll need to ask
for it with an extraRequestData.
