Thread-topic: XML Schema: nillable vs. minOccurs

All, 

I'm looking for advice on usage of nillable vs. minOccurs. When you have an element that is optional should you use "nillable=true" or "minOccurs=0" or both? Using both seems to make things more complicated than necessary. 

Any advice is greatly appreciated, 
Brian
