It may be worth noting that features proposed for XML Schema 1.1 make it easier, should you wish to, to act as if there is a wildcard by default at the end of each content model, or if you prefer, in between every explicit particle in the model. This is still explicit, in the sense that at the top of the schema you say that you want it to work this way. It still means that you have in a sense said "all this extra stuff is actually legal in my language, even if I don't call it out one element name at a time". Of course, you can continue to code schemas in the traditional style, as you outline above. In that case, content will be accepted only where explicitly allowed for by an element declaration, attribute declaration or explicit wildcard.
