I took a better look and you are right, you have also crossed rule 4.6.
But if you try:
Test.rng:
<define name="children">
<zeroOrMore>
<element>
<anyName>
<except>
<nsName/>
</except>
</anyName>
<ref
name="children"></ref>
</element>
</zeroOrMore>
<optional>
<ref
name="interestingElements"></ref>
</optional>
</define>
<define name="interestingElements">
<choice>
<externalRef
href=""anythingElseButTest.rng"/>
</choice>
</define>
</grammar>
You'll see there are more mistakes in the schema.

<jlowery@myrio.com>:
I'm sure you're correct, however the error I get from Jing is
this:
C:\ > java -jar \xml\jing-20030619\bin\jing.jar test.rng
C:\ > Test.rng:28:43: error: recursive inclusion of URL
"file:/C:/[…]/Test.rng"
I took a better look and you are right, you have also crossed rule 4.6. But if
you try:

<define name="children">
<zeroOrMore>
<element>
<anyName>

<define name="interestingElements">

I now wonder: if all patterns are defined inside a containing
grammar, could one except the container from a contained definition? That
way, all definitions would be excluded automatically when new ones were added
to the container. Something I'll try later…
I'm not sure I can follow.

Sorry, I've overlooked the <optional> element.
Rule 4.12 comes first in this case and adds a <group>, then 7.15. The
basic idea stays the same: you cannot have several roots in an XML document.
