Hi, 

I am facing the following problem while building a
data model. 

I would like to have an element to have a type, which
is a choices between number of types. 

a.xml => 
<Node> 
  <Sub1>
  <Sub2>
  <Sub3>
</Node> 

b.xml => 
<Node>
  <Sub4>
  <Sub5>
</Node> 

In my schema I have 
c.xsd => 
<complexType name="Type1"> 
 <xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:element name="Sub1" type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element name="Sub2" type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element name="Sub3" type="xsd:string"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
</complexType>

<complexType name="Type2"> 
 <xsd:sequence>
  <xsd:element name="Sub4" type="xsd:string"/>
  <xsd:element name="Sub5" type="xsd:string"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
</complexType>


I would like to have Node to be of Type1 OR Type2. As
you can see, there is no overlap between Type1 and
Type2. 

Is it feasible ? How ( can we have choice keyword for
Type ) ? 

With best regards,
Shirish
