Hi Roger,
Here's another XML schema sample using XSD 1.1 assertions which
probably can validate the XML instance document you've posted in your
examples:
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/header"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="Header">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Author" type="xs:string" />
<xs:any processContents="lax" namespace="http://www.example.org/report"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:assert test="*[2][local-name() = 'Report'][count(*) = 1 and
local-name(*[not(*)]) = 'Title']" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
In the above schema we use xs:any wild-card to represent the
following-sibling element of element "Author", and constrain structure
of the instance element (that's validated by the wild-card particle)
entirely with schema assertions.
