Hallo Henry, hallo all.
Thanks for your answer.
I changed my schema and added an attribute parentid to the element child.
Instantly a new question came up: How can I achieve it, that in one parent-element all parent-ids of the child elements are equal to
the parentid of the parent?
One approach that I found is listed below; it is an additional element parentid. But I don't like this additional element; is there a
possibility to do it without this element ?
Thanks in advance,
Erich

Sensible design, sensible question, but can't be done with the XML as
described, sorry. Chained keyrefs, which is what you need, are a
candidate requirement for a subsequent version.
Meantime, only way to win is to copy parentid on to all children, then
use two-part key and keyref.
