Isn't this verbose?
Quite a few people in the XML Schema WG think that elements for */+/? are
too verbose and have chosen "maxOccurs"" and minOccurs". RELAX Core has
chosen
"occurs".
Cheers,

I'm strongly supportive of our approach.
I might be tempted to consider <repeat> as a alternate to <oneOrMore>
and <zeroOrMore>, but I'm not unhappy.
Sometimes these <optional> blocks do get gnarly - because of the
business case - just look at <select> <when> <when> <when> blocks.
I don;t think there is any sugar candy approach here. Ugly is ugly.
Then XSchema maxOccurs/ minOccurs are a nightmare that obscure the real
structure of the content, and worse make maintenance
very difficult along with detecting edge conditions with agent software.
Apart from that maxOccurs/minOccurs are fine. Did I say that I detest
these
with a passion? ; -)
Thanks, DW.
