Saxon uses the Thompson/Tobin 2003 algorithm, with the default limits set to 100 for minOccurs and 250 for maxOccurs; the new version 8.1.1 issued today allows these limits to be configured (but of course you'll run out of memory if you set them too high). A public thanks for the algorithm - a fine example of researchers using their grants to deliver something that's actually useful. I'm looking forward to seeing the new version.
