Re: optional, but at least one required

Use a 'group' for the 'a', 'b', and 'c' element definitions and 
reference this 'group' in the 'options' element definition:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <xsd:element name="options">
            <xsd:complexType>
                <xsd:sequence>
                    <xsd:group ref="optionsGroup"/>
                </xsd:sequence>
            </xsd:complexType>
        </xsd:element>
        <xsd:group name="optionsGroup">
            <xsd:choice>
                <xsd:element name="a"/>
                <xsd:element name="b"/>
                <xsd:element name="c"/>
            </xsd:choice>
        </xsd:group>
    </xsd:schema>
