The point is that PART _can't_ have child elements with the same name
but different types -- this is a constraint imposed by the XML Schema
design.

Note that this constraint has an important benefit for processors:
even if an element is locally _in_valid, they can validate its
children, because the tag-type association does not depend on position 
in the content model.
