Or if you're adding a new field to the schema (perhaps the most common need for editing schema.xml), you don't need to reindex any documents at all, right? Unless I'm missing something? I suppose if you add a new dynamic field specification that conflicts with existing fields, reindexing is probably a good idea, but if you're doing that... well, I probably don't want to know.
