<p>From what you said I get the impression that it is a bug in the XML Schema. Intension is expressed in the specifcation, but incapable of formulating the restriction in XML Schema. Is this correct?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The patch was included in the message and the resulting .xsd was tested against libxml2 v2.7.8. The patched schema worked just as intended. Including the patch in the XML Schema would reduce the number of documents that formally valid but invalid according
to the specification.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Of course, accepting the fix to the schema would imply that also the similar structure in the ReferenceType should be fixed in a similar manner. However, in my opinion, this would only be a good thing to happen...</p>

<div dir="ltr">Yes we know about this but have been unable in XML to allow only one of each but require at least one or the other. We have had the bug filed since version 3.0. The best we could do was document what was supposed to be done.

<div>URL OR sequence OR both is the intention and so documented.</div>

<div>However 2 URLs or 2 sequences will validate in the XML</div>

This is invalid according to specification, but the restriction<br>
is not expressed formally with XML Schema.<br>
<br>
My question is then:<br>
<br>
Is this a mistake/bug in the XML Schema? (If not, please explain why<br>
it is better to formally allow such invalid documents?)<br>
<br>
The XML Schema language allows one to express formally the restriction <br>
"either one or both". The details are laid down, for instance, in the answer<br>
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9863056/xsd-schema-either-one-or-both" target="_blank">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9863056/xsd-schema-either-one-or-both</a><br>
<br>
Here's a patch for the file "reusable.xsd" that is included in the current<br>
distribution package of the DDI-Lifecycle 3.2:</p>
