And I see that the same rule is present for other kinds of particle as well. One does wonder why maxOccurs="0" is allowed, if it has to be treated as an exception to the normal rules. I guess it's analogous to use="prohibited" on attributes, which also causes some odd anomalies. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
