Hello everybody,

I have to process a XML document that's looks like this (I don't have
a choice in the layout since I'm receiving the document from a third
party):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <product>
    <name>Product name</name>
    <url>
      <product>http://product.url.com</product>
      <image>http://product.image.com</image>
    </url>
  </product>
  <product>
    <name>Product name 2</name>
    <url>
      <product>http://product.url.com</product>
      <image>http://product.image.com</image>
    </url>
  </product>
</root>

As you can see element name "product" is used as a product container
and as the child of url element. I'm not XML expert but I think that's
not very smart. How can I write a XSD schema to validate this type of
document when an element name can mean two different things? Is it
even possible?

Thanks,
Alex
