RE: not a complete functional mapping - help

Hello Xan, thanks for your reply.

Until now I have not found a solution. The goal is to define I complex type
(in my XSD: CurrType) that acts like a meta-type. This meta-type should
describe all possible types that child elements of that type can have. The
child elements could have any order in the meta-level.
The extension of that type is blocked, the restriction is allowed.

KURSType is a restriction of that meta-type. The child elements have to
appear in a special order. These child elements must have types which are
derived from the types described in CurrType.

You are right, XSV reports no errors. But my authoring system uses Xerces.
Is there any workaround to this problem?

Best regards,

Lars Geldner
