If I want to mix some static high level items and dynamic lower level items, it is fairly obvious to use, e.g.: <selectOne ref=""> <caption>Select a category and keyword</caption> <choices> <caption>Category A</caption> <itemset nodeset=""> <caption ref=""/> <value ref=""/> </itemset> </choices> <choices> <caption>Category B</caption> <itemset nodeset=""> <caption ref=""/> <value ref=""/> </itemset> </choices> <selectOne> From the spec, an itemset can not contain an itemset, but a choices can contain itemset or choices. If I want the hierarchy totally dynamic using itemset, is the following representation correct? <selectOne ref=""> <caption>Select a category and keyword</caption> <choices> <itemset nodeset=""> <caption ref=""/> <value ref=""/> </itemset> <choices> <itemset nodeset=""> <caption ref=""/> <value ref=""/> </itemset> </choices> </choices> <selectOne> Does it adequately imply that the second itemset is dependent upon the first itemset similar to a nested repeat? This representation does not seem as strong as the nested repeat. I would prefer something like the following where the nodeset context is more obvious: <selectOne ref=""> <caption>Select a category and keyword</caption> <itemset nodeset=""> <caption ref=""/> <value ref=""/> <itemset nodeset=""> <caption ref=""/> <value ref=""/> </itemset> </itemset> <selectOne> +-DRD-+
