Thanks Michael, you made it clear I needed to think a bit more
comprehensively about what I put into my question. My apologies for
that; I left out a key factor in my question.<br>
<br>
I had thought about the solution you mentioned, and the possibility
of creating an automated dev tool (presumably xslt) that would run
through the schema and insert a local element declaration for the IF
inside each element, mimicking the content model of the parent, such
that I could run it whenever doing mods to the schema. The
showstopper, as far as I know, was that the IF element is in a
different namespace from the various elements of which it is a
child. These IFs are used for a specific purpose during certain
"phases" of XSLT that we run instance files through, and
consequently they are defined in a specific namespace with other
elements used for related types of parsing. As far as I could figure
out, though I could be wrong, there is no way to create a local
definition for an element in a different namespace from it's parent;
is that right? <br>
<br>
I know Im creating a seriously constrained problem, but that's why
we've ignored it for so long and left in this undesirable allowance
of the whole "kitchen sink" being insertable within these IF
elements. It's a big enough issue that I've considered changing the
namespaces, but that would be a backwards-incompatible change that
would be unacceptable to all our clients with deployed systems. It
would be nice to phase the namespace out, but we'd have to double-up
on the IF elements allowed and probably confuse clients.<br>
