Re: XML Schema: Alternating "unbounded" elements

This should do it:

<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:target="http://www.example.com">
	
	<element name="field1"  type="target:myType"/>
	<element name="field2"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field3"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field4"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field5"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field6"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field7"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field8"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field9"  type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
	<element name="field10" type="target:myType"
substitutionGroup="target:field1"/>
				
	<element name="record">
		<complexType>
			<sequence>
				<element ref="target:field1" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
			</sequence>
		</complexType>
	</element>
	
	<complexType name="myType">
		<sequence>
			<element name="value" type="string"/>
		</sequence>
	</complexType>
</schema>
