Re: DTD OR equivalent in XML schema

There is a "choice" element that allows choosing one
of several elements.

Try 

<choice>
    <element ref="A" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
    <element ref="B" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</choice>

where A and B have been declared separately, or you
could include the name and type of those elements in
the choice declaration

<choice>
    <element name="A" type="string" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
    <element name="B" type="int" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="1"/>
</choice>

I hope this helps.
