That is not quite it. I disallow:
<group>
<string>abc</string>
<attribute name="foo"/>
<string>def</string>
</group>
I also disallow
<group>
<string>abc</string>
<element name="foo">whatever</element>
<string>def</string>
</group>
(in order to simplify specification/implementation) but I don't disallow
<group>
<anyString/>
<anyString/>
</group>
I also don't think a description in terms of automata is a good for the
spec, because it would require that the spec describe how to build an
automata. I also want to keep things easy for people who aren't using
automata to implement this.
