RE: Anonymous Elements

Michael,

I'm sorry about that; I'm relatively new to this. However, I do appreciate
your mentioning the appropriate list, and I will certainly subscribe to it.

Thanks again. By the way, this is an excellent list.


Respectfully,

ASP

This list isn't the right place for XML Schema questions: use the
xml-schema-dev list at W3C.

However, elements can't be anonymous in the schema, for the simple reason
that they can't be anonymous in a document instance. What you can do is to
use a wildcard (xs:any) which allows elements from specified namespaces,
irrespective of their local name.
