Re: [relax-ng] New article on RELAX NG vs W3C XML Schema

[James Clark <jjc@jclark.com>]

This is very nice.  One minor comment.  This example

<element name="p">
  <zeroOrMore>
   <text/>
   <element name="br"><empty/></element> <!-- typo in article -->
  </zeroOrMore>
  <optional>
   <text/>
  </optional>
 </element>

doesn't quite illustrate the point it's intended to.  Since <text/> matches
*zero* or more text nodes, the above is equivalent to:

<element name="p">
  <mixed>
    <zeroOrMore>
      <element name="br"><empty/></element>
    </zeroOrMore>
  </mixed>
</element>

A better example would be something like <object> in XHTML, which has zero
or more <param> children followed by mixed content.
