Thanks, that works, with the expected effect for my "validator
torture page" (Jukka already told me that it's utter dubious):

I'm still confused by the "missing <legend>" issue:  It's now 
clear that XML DTD doesn't "want" to support more details for
"mixed content".  OTOH a schema can support it.  

So far I "thought" (= based on 100% ignorance) that schema vs.
DTD are merely different views on essentially the same thing,
and for obvious reasons DTDs only can't express more details.

But the "mixed content" issue is not "cannot", it's more like
"intentionally does not want".  What's the rationale, if it's
no problem to get this "forbidden" mixed-effect with a schema ?
