RE: [xml-dev] minOccurs maxOccurs doesnt seem to be working correctly in my schema

[Marielou <marielou_h@yahoo.co.uk>]

My XML file has format:

<parentA>
 		<C>0</C>
 		<C>1</C>
 		<C>2</C>
 		<C>3</C>
		<C>4</C>
 		<C>5</C>
 		<C>6</C>
 		<C>7</C>
</parentA>

<B> is just an element ref I put in the <all> tag in
<A> to get around the fact that <A> has no sequence
but elements which need to occur more than once. <B>
describes the occurrences of <C> to be more than 1, in
my schema maxOccurs="7" but <B> does not occur in my
XML document
