In the REC [1]:

   * (all) . . . In this case, to reduce implementation complexity,
     {particles} is restricted to contain local and top-level element
     declarations only, with {min occurs}=0 or 1, {max occurs}=1.

and [2]:

   Schema Component Constraint: All Group Limited

     When a model group has {compositor} all all of the following must
     be true:

      1 one of the following must be true:

        1.1 It appears as the model group of a model group definition.

        1.2 It appears in a particle with {min occurs}={max occurs}=1,
            and that particle must be part of a pair which constitutes the
           {content type} of a complex type definition.

      2 The {max occurs} of all the particles in the {particles} of
        the group must be 0 or 1.

As above.  I guess not all validators are conformant in this area --
XSV doesn't enforce (1).
