Sorry.  Let me try again.

<oneOrMore>
   <group>
     <attribute><anyName/></attribute>
     <optional><attribute><anyName/></attribute></optional>
  </group>
</oneOrMore>

is prohibited but its equivalent pattern

<oneOrMore>
     <attribute><anyName/></attribute>
</oneOrMore>

is not.

Anyway, "why bother?" is not my favorite.  I very much prefere <multipleAttributes...>.
