Re: [xml-dev] Schema validation question

I don't think this works.  I think this would be considered indeterminate in
WXS, because given
  <Fruit><Name>apple</Name
             <Abbrev>APL</Abbrev>
</Fruit>
I don't think the schema parser can tell which of the groups has been
chosen. IIRC, it doesn't look at the element values to determine the branch
of the choice, only the element names.
