In my schema, elements should not have any
restrictions on their sequence however they have
restrictions on their occurence, some can occur more
than once, the number of occurences is specified in
the schema. I have tried to restrict occurences with
minOccurs maxOccurs in an <all> tag, with the actual
number of occurences specified in a separate element
with complexType referenced from the <all> with an
element ref to the elementnameChoice if it should be
able to occur more than once. Im a total newbie to
schemas and dont know if this should work, but Im
finding that my restrictions on occurences are not
seeming to work at all. e.g. in an XML file validated
against the schema, any element seems to be able to
occur or not regardless which occurence values I
encoded in the schema. Please help!
