The lack of compelling use cases is most probably why M-N didn't make it
into RELAX NG v1.0. The deficiency is not a big problem. Maybe the TC saw it
as syntax sugar? Don't remember.

Don't know, but I'd be interested to know. Who out there is using
minOccurs/maxOccurs in XML Schema beyond zero-one-many? Can you live without
minOccurs/maxOccurs or do you gotta have it?
