Peter, glad to hear the Primer is useful for you. I am forwarding your suggestion to the XML Schema comments address where it will be considered. David ............................................

One of the things I was looking for, but did not find, was an example of how to define an element which can contain an arbitary number of a specified set of children in any order. I did find the "all" element but this specifically limits the children to a single occurrence. Other schema languages address this usage directly e.g. Trex: "interleave". I have since found example schema's which use the "group" element to achieve the desired effect. Your primer could be usefully improved with an example of this common usage. For example the html "inline" group or a form design element where contents are restricted to a known set of widgets - but in any order and occurrence. Regards Peter Wilson
