The content model for simple-page-master is a sequence group. However, there is no practical reason for it to not to be an AND group--there is no interdependency among the page region declarations and therefore there's no practical benefit to requiring a particular order of specification. This is the only sequence group in the spec that has this quality--all other sequence groups reflect practical ordering dependencies. At the moment no known FO implementation enforces the content model constraints for simple-page-master and XEP's validator does not complain if it is not followed. I'm wondering if my supposition that the Editors really did intend this to be an AND group in practice is correct and, if so, it would be possible to clarify this intent with a note to that effect. It would, I think, eliminate the possibility of annoying (but not tragic) Simon Says behavior on the part of some implementation that takes a pedantic stance on validation. Thanks, Eliot -- W.
