Hi David,

Thanks for your help.

E.g.: 'sorry, cannot handle this kind of "group"'.
This refers to an element definition with an optional attribute, an 
optional element child and text, like this:
<element name="...">
  <optional><attribute name="...">...</attribute></optional>
  <optional><element name="...">...</element></optional>
  <text/>
</element>

I guess the problem is the order with the optional first element child 
and the text?

The more I think about it, the more that looks like the proper answer. 
Some of my problems are generic; those would ideally be handled by 
Trang, and I'll ask James about it. Others seem quite specific to my 
schema; I'll try to handle those seperately, ideally with a transformation.

Sincerely,
Daniel
