Hi Neo,
None.
The basic idea of a schema is to define what information can be stored in the db and in what for, and what information to disallow because it confllicts with the constraints.
If the unlikely, the improbably and even the impossible should be allowed to be stored, RM, ORM, ER, UML, and any other modeling technique I should have included here can go out the window.
