Sorry David,

This is still non-deterministic because when the parser encounters a
description element, it does not know which branch of the content model
to take.  I think what you want is:


> <xs:complexType name="timeframeType">
    <xs:sequence>
	<xs:element ref="description" minOccurs="0"/>
> 	<xs:choice>
> 		<xs:sequence>
> 			<xs:element ref="earliestdate"/>
> 			<xs:element ref="latestdate" minOccurs="0"/>
> 		</xs:sequence>
> 		<xs:element ref="latestdate"/>
> 	</xs:choice>
    </xs:sequence>
> </xs:complexType>


Hope that helps,
Priscilla
