"one or more of them must occur" makes it seem as though "fill fill" is valid, but I agree that that's not what we want here. How about adding something to clarify that options can only occur once in the given set? E.g: "A double bar (||) separates two or more options: one or more of them must occur, in any order. Each option can occur at most one time." -- Erik Dahlstrom, Core Technology Developer, Opera Software Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Personal blog: http://my.opera.com/macdev_ed
