But this is the core of my problem. I'd like to "declare" an "object class"
named "recurso" wich has a lot in common with "consulta". But they are not
the same "class", "consulta" is more than "recurso". The technical problem
arises when I am trying to say that:

Recurso ::= "<recurso" AttributesOfRecurso ">" (Texto)* "</recurso>"
Consulta ::= "<consulta" AttributesOfRecurso ">" (Texto|Imagen)*
"</consulta>"

e.g.
<consulta nombre="C1">
  <imagen nombre="I1"/>
  <texto nombre="T1"/>
  <imagen nombre="I2"/>
</consulta>


But with the Schema mechanism "extension" like Jeff proposes I cannot write
the former example because it is treated like:

Consulta ::= "<consulta" AttributesOfRecurso ">" (Texto Imagen)*
"</consulta>"

i.e. every "Texto" has to be followed by a "Imagen", and that's not what I
am looking for. :-(
