If you really need to have any sort of content within your body then you can define the body tag to contain a CDATA section. Then your document will look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<message ... >
<messageid>123456</messageid>
<body><![CDATA[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filter ... >
<and>
<comp><op>eq</op><field>1.3</field><value>value1</value></comp>
<comp><op>eq</op><field>1.2</field><value>value2</value></comp>
</and>
</filter>
]]></body>
</message>
I'm sure there are a lot of other complicated ways to do this, but this is simple and it works.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [xml-dev] Embed an XML document in another XML document
Hi
I would like to create a XML Schema that would define the structure of an
XML document that contains XML document
Typically, something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<message ... >
<messageid>123456</messageid>
<body>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filter ... >
<and>
<comp><op>eq</op><field>1.3</field><value>value1</value></comp>
<comp><op>eq</op><field>1.2</field><value>value2</value></comp>
</and>
</filter>
</body>
</message>
I tried defining the schema like this, using different definitions for the
body element, but I can't validate it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
targetNamespace="http://voyager.oxys.be/xml/ns/MyTest-0_1";
xmlns="http://voyager.oxys.be/xml/ns/MyTest-0_1";
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="message" type="MessageType"/>
<xs:complexType name="MessageType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element type="xs:NMTOKEN" name="messageid"/>
<xs:element type="xs:anyType" name="body"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
The reason I need this is because I have to define a structure of a message
that is able any type of body. So I can't define the type of the body (using
a choice, for instance).
Any suggestion welcome,
Happy New Year
