I like this way of looking at the restriction. I think we should use this
to replace the two sentences: "More generally, if a pattern matches a
sequence of length greater than one, then all strings in the sequence must
match text patterns and not data or value patterns. However, a pattern
occuring within a list pattern is not subject to this rule."
I don't find "coexist" quite clear enough. We also need to deal with <list>.
How about this?
"In RELAX NG, strings can be matched by <data>, <value>, <list> and <text>
patterns. If the pattern for the content of an element or attributes
contains two patterns that match strings, then either both patterns must be
<text/> or the patterns must be alternatives to each other, ie they must
occur in different alternatives of some <choice> pattern. This rule does
not apply to patterns occurring within a list pattern."
