Hahaha ! DTD wins !

<!ELEMENT Books (Book)+>
<!ELEMENT Book 
((Title,Author,((Date,ISBN,Publisher)|(Size,Weight,MailingCost)))|(Size,NumPages))>
<!ELEMENT Title (#PCDATA)>
  <!ELEMENT Author (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Date (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT ISBN (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Publisher (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Size (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT Weight (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT MailingCost (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT NumPages (#PCDATA)>
