I wish this was true with W3C XML Schema :=( ...

The restrictions of use with xs:all have been discussed at length before 
the specification went to Recommendation and they are here because of 
potential problems with the implementation of schema validators as 
finite state machines that you won't workaround by embedding a xs:all 
within a xs:group.

Whether documented or not in the Recommendation, doing so probably means 
that 50% of the schema validators will blow up trying to validate some 
of the combinations you expect to allow by the schema.
