In practice, different validators make different assumptions about what such an arrangement should look like, so it's hard to produce an instance+schema package that will work with all (or even more than one) validator. There was interest at one time in performing a survey of current practice and publishing a Note to document it, but there was also resistance to this idea, so it has not happened. I hope this helps. -- **************************************************************** * C. M.
