I found this amusing in a twisted way, it struck me that working to XSD's strengths was synonymous with producing particularly ugly XML. ><task> > <!-- common task elements here --> > <taskType1> > <!-- Task 1 things --> > </taskType1> ></task> >or: ><task> > <!-- common task elements here --> > <taskType2> > <!-- Task 1 things --> > </taskType2> ></task> I'm sorry but are you suggesting that task has a choice of taskType1 taskType2 and so forth?
