Advantages of my proposal are very significant, while your
concern is merely for consistency.

I have two completely different answers. One of them requires whole-sale
reengineering and I will write more about it in a different thread.
This mail covers the other answer (which is not my favorite).
We have already prohibited
<zeroOrMore>
<group>
<attribute><anyName/></attribute>
</group>
</zeroOrMore>
but have allowed
<zeroOrMore>
<attribute><anyName/></attribute>
</zeroOrMore>
In other words, we already have "incosistency". Why bother?
Cheers,
Makoto
