The number of real world uses cases of minOccurs and maxOccurs seems not to
have a finite maxOccurs.
Now, we can often work around limitations in the ability to directly express
cardinalities (e.g. (x,x,x,y,y,y,y) but nonetheless the ability to express
cardinality restrictions does have some good real world use cases.
