I got it, sorry. My confusion was a false assumption that a text pattern
outside a group couldn't affect something which is "within a group" but
I realize that it's a basic misunderstanding which I will have to
document in my book: a group isn't something which matches a group in
the instance document (there is no such thing as a group in instance
documents)...

I should have tried it instead of pretending I was a Relax NG processor!

Thanks,

Eric
