There are algorithms that can validate <all> nested within <all>, or
whatever (see http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/jing.html for
example), but it's just that W3C XML Schema decided not to allow them
for some reason.

So your options are either

- stick to W3C XML Schema and make a compromise by using (a|b)* rather
  than (ab|ba)*.
- or switch to another schema language that allows you to express what
  you want.
