Re: Schema limits and ordering

What's confusing to me is not why one would want multiple elements mixed 
independent of order, but why one would want bounded maxOccurs for each by 
name.  In many such cases, the maxOccurs is approximating some deeper 
semantic which might better be captured with more structured markup. 
Obviously, if the maxOccurs need not be bounded, then:

        <choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
                <element ref="n:a" />
                <element ref="n:b" />
        </choice>

will do nicely.
