A Note in Structures section 2.2.3.2 says:

  Note: XML Schema: Structures ·content models· are similar to but 
  more expressive than [XML] content models; unlike [XML], XML 
  Schema: Structures applies ·content models· to the ·validation· 
  of both mixed and element-only content.

This is incorrect as it stands:  the use of content models to validate
both mixed and element content is common to XML DTDs and XML Schema.
What is different is that XML Schema does not restrict the form of
content models for mixed content in the same way as XML DTDs.

I think the statement should be corrected (although I do not now
propose specific alternative wording).
