[xmlschema-dev] <none>

Hi,
I am having some problems getting to grips with the <any> key.
I have got the schema below with the <any> key.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xs:schema id="test5" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/test5.xsd"
elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/test5.xsd" xmlns:
mstns="http://tempuri.org/test5.xsd" xmlns:xs="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <xs:element name="Letters">
          <xs:complexType>
               <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element name="a" type="a" />
                    <xs:element name="b" type="b" />
                    <xs:any processContents="skip"></xs:any>
               </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
     </xs:element>
     <xs:simpleType name="a">
          <xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
     </xs:simpleType>
     <xs:simpleType name="b">
          <xs:restriction base="xs:string" />
     </xs:simpleType>
</xs:schema>

If I add the data below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Letters xmlns="http://tempuri.org/test5.xsd">
     <a></a>
     <b></b>
     <c></c>
</Letters>

I get the error that the schema does not support the element c.
If I remove the <c> then the validater complains that the data is
incomplete.
I just want to any data that I please, the does not need to be validated
after <b>
Can anyone what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Eamon.
