Re: Processing xs:group as a finite automata same as processing xs:choice?

That is good to know.

It looks like for efficiency purposes I am going to pre-process the schema
and flatten/resolve all group declarations into choice|sequence|all. For
schemas with heavy use of groups it will mean a little more wait time up
front but for validations on the client it will save considerable time.

Thanks guys this helps alot.

Cheers,

Casey
