Note that this model is only a (simple) XSLT transformation away from
something more "classical" and that (for instance)
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="length/text()[normalize-space()]">
<value>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</value>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|*|text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
would transform it into
<length><value>12.5</value><unit>cm</unit></length>
which is much easier to validate with any schema language.
That's here that xvif can help and let you write:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<element xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"; name="length">
<if:transform type='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
xmlns:if='http://namespaces.xmlschemata.org/xvif/iframe'>
<if:apply xmlns="">
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="length/text()[normalize-space()]">
<value>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</value>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|*|text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
</if:apply>
</if:transform>
<element name="value">
<text/>
</element>
<element name="unit">
<text/>
</element>
</element>
(this is embedded into Relax NG but I am pretty confident that this
could be implemented on top of WXS as well).
