I want to be able to express a very general element type:-
<!ELEMENT a ( b | ( c | #PCDATA )* ) >
Which can later be extended/restricted, but because to allow for
"#PCDATA" you have to specify mixed="true" on the <complexType>, I've
no idea how to do this using XML Schema. In other words, I aim for
"<a><b/></a>" and "<a><c/>text</a>" to be legal, but for
"<a><b/>text</a>" not to be.
I have:-
<xsd:element name="a">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:choice>
<xsd:element ref="b"/>
<xsd:group ref="c.grp"/>
</xsd:choice>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:group name="c.grp">
<xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:element ref="c"/>
</xsd:choice>
</xsd:group>
But as you can't put mixed="true" on a group, I'm stuck. Could
somebody help me, please?
