Thanks for your answer.

So... I see that a <value> element carrying a "ref" attribute can be used within an <itemset> (so long as the value of the "ref" attribute is a relative location path).

However, I still don't see how the child elements of <value> can be used with an <itemset> or within an <item>.   Why is there a wildcard in the content model of the <value> element?

<xsd:any namespace="##any" processContents="skip" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
