Just for the fun of it, I transformed this content model into the
following RELAX NG schema (note that the main part is just
copy-and-paste!):

a = element a {empty}
b = element b {empty}
c = element c {empty}
start = element result {
	(((a,a)*,(b,b)*,(c,c)*)|
	((a,a)*,a,(b,b)*,b,(c,c)*,c))
	}

Jing was able to process this schema fine, despite its nondeterminism,
and correctly reported errors in several test documents I created.
