Well, not particularly amusing, if so.  Absolutely does not fulfill the
given requirements.

DTD talk, the requirement is (A|B)*
The above yields (A?,B?)

Not the same.

<xs:element name="parent">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
      <xs:element ref="A" />
      <xs:element ref="B" />
    </xs:choice>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Should we do it in RNG too?
