Hi all,
I have a problem I am trying to find a solution/work around for.
One of the elements in my schema by design must consist of either one child elements or a group of  elements with absolutely no restriction on the order within this group. So, ideally it would look something like the following (though I understand it is invalid):
<xs:complexType name="Parent">
        <xs:choice>
             <xs:element name="E0" type="xs:int" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
	 <xs:all minOccurs="0">
               <xs:element name="E1" type="xs:string" />
               <xs:element name="E2" type="xs:string" />
               <xs:element name="E3" type="xs:string" />
             </xs:all>
        </xs:choice>
    </xs:complexType>

Any ideas?
Thanks
--Alex
