Re: how to define an element which can contain any attributes or elements

XSV is telling you it can't find out what type Cat, Dob and Zebra are. You
asked it to find type defintions for these elements because the default
value for processContents is strict. Set processContents to lax and you'll
be fine;

  <xs:any processContents='lax' minOccurs='0' maxOccurs='unbounded' />
