Re: 'all' must only appear as the content type of a complex type definition?

Hi Scott,

The schema is invalid as reported by the parser. The relevant part of 
the specification is here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cos-all-limited

The closest you can get I guess is to use a choice model instead of all.

Best Regards,
George
