I am fairly new to XML and i searched through the archives but did not find 
any solution for this issue.

I am trying to define a schema that can validate the following XML document.

<record>
   <field1>
      <value>x
      </value>
   </field1>

   <field2>
      <value>x
      </value>
   </field2>

   <field1>
      <value>x
      </value>
   </field1>

   <field3>
      <value>x
      </value>
   </field3>

   <field2>
      <value>x
      </value>
   </field2>

...

</record>

i have a bunch of fields field1 through field10 and i can have multiple 
occurences of every field (maxOccurs = "unbounded") and they need not be in 
a sequence (i.e.
field1 occuring thrice followed by field2 occuring twice etc). these 
elements can alternate as shown above (in any order).

please provide a sample schema that can do something like this. i appreciate 
your help.

thanks
mohan
