Robert, Ref: http://www.xmlschemareference.com/sequenceElement.html
" The sequence element provides an XML representation of an ordered set of element types. For each element type associated with a sequence element in an XML schema document, there must be a corresponding element in the corresponding XML instance - in the same order. In fact, there may be zero or many elements for each element type depending upon the values of the minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes associated with the corresponding element types. " Yes you are correct sir. That is how the "<xsd:sequence>" XML Schema element works. ( I am sure you can find other references out there too, but that was just the second link on google when I searched for "xsd:sequence".)
