Why not just use the > following content models, which you've probably already thought of? Michael's convention is essentially just markup minimization. In full SGML, he would actually use markup minimization to force the #PCDATA into its own logical element (even without tags). Nevertheless, I see no good resaon to restrain him from doing this. Markup is a user interface and we need not make it unnecessarily unpleasent. XML DTDs do not allow PCDATA content at random places because of whitespace handling problems and backwards compatibility. I do not think that XSchema has any such constraint. #PCDATA should probably be able to go anywhere an element can go, unless someone can come up with a strong reason why not. #ANY should also be able to go anywhere an element can go. This will allow the natual expression of extensible content models.
