RE: how to define an element which can contain any attributes or elements

Still does not work.  Gee, I thought this was a simple request :*)

Here is my instance:
- - - snip - - - 

<Properties xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance" 
               xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Useless6.xsd"
   Name="" Rank="" SerialNumber="" 
  >
	<Cat/>
	<Dog/>
	<Zebra/>
</Properties>

/- - - snip - - -


and here is my schema:
- - - snip - - - 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="Properties">
  <xs:complexType mixed="true">
   <xs:sequence>
   	<xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
   </xs:sequence>
   <xs:anyAttribute/>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

</xs:schema>

/- - - snip - - -

Here is what xsv says:
- - - snip - - - 

Problems with the schema-validity of the target
file:/C:/ModelCompilerTestPen/test/xmlout/Properties.xml:5:2: Invalid per src-resolve: can't find a type for wildcard-matching element {None}:Cat

file:/C:/ModelCompilerTestPen/test/xmlout/Properties.xml:6:2: Invalid per src-resolve: can't find a type for wildcard-matching element {None}:Dog

file:/C:/ModelCompilerTestPen/test/xmlout/Properties.xml:7:2: Invalid per src-resolve: can't find a type for wildcard-matching element {None}:Zebra

/- - - snip - - -

And XML Spy says:  Unexpected attribute 'Name' in element 'Properties'

And Oracle's schema validating parser says: 
- - - snip - - -
Parsing Properties.xml

<Line 4, Column 32>: XSD-2026: (Error) Invalid attribute 'mixed' in element 'complexType'

<Line 5, Column 8>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'Cat' not expected.
<Line 6, Column 8>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'Dog' not expected.
<Line 7, Column 10>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'Zebra' not expected.
Parser Exception: Element 'Cat' not expected.

Needs the sequence + unbounded:

<xs:element name="Properties">
  <xs:complexType mixed="true">
   <xs:sequence>
   	<xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
   </xs:sequence>
   <xs:anyAttribute/>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
