Sir or Madam: I'd like if the next XML Schema spec had a clear relationship to regular expressions. I (and a lot of other people) know and understand regular expressions. They're well known by the parsing community. So, I'd love it if the new spec contained things that had a relationship to +, *, ?, |, (). I suggest tag names of"atLeastOne" "anyNumber" "optionally", "chooseOne", and "grouping". So you might end up with something like this: <element name="element"> <chooseOne> <element name="isOfType> <attribute name="type" value="string"> </element> <grouping> <optionally> <element name="extendsType> <attribute name="type" value="string"> </element> </optionally> <anyNumber> <element name="attribute> <attribute name="name" value="string"> <attribute name="value" value="string> <element> </anyNumber> <anyNumber> <element name="element"> <attribute name="name" value="string"> </element> </anyNumber> </grouping> </chooseOne> </element> I think it is much cleaner than what is currently being used in schemas.
