Hm, while I agree that the syntax is unnecessarily complicated, I cannot see how the presented model (not the model reverse engineered from the xml syntax) can be simplified further. I would for example prefer the "bag/sequence"-thing as first class member in the model, thus a more complicated model. For my application it's just simpler to allow several occurences of an arc with the same label than having tons of inbetween objects (bags) floating around.
