No. That gives you a choice between all red balls, all black balls, and
all yellow balls. You need to make a choice on the individual level and
put the zero-or-more operator outside, thus:
<!ELEMENT Box (Red | Black | Yellow)*>

What is "it" that says this? "It" doesn't seem to know what it is talking
about, since multiple Red elements are explicitly allowed.
