Re: XML Schema wildcard question

You may use a union of an enumeration and a string instead:

   <xsd:simpleType name="DeviceEnum">
       <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
            <xsd:enumeration value="b"/>
            <xsd:enumeration value="f"/>
            ...
       </xsd:restriction >
   </xsd:simpleType>

   <xsd:element name="DeviceDataType">
        <xsd:simpleType>
            <xsd:union memberTypes="DeviceEnum xsd:string" />
        </xsd:simpleType>
    </xsd:element>
