In his Relax NG book Eric van der Vlist notes that the reason non-deterministic schema patterns were disallowed in some schema languages was the concern that they could lead to exponential growth in computation times in schema processing, at least with finite state-machine implementations [1]. Is this a concern with jing? I'm adjusting a schema to be non-deterministic in several respects, and my a quick validation test using jing and time across the whole body of existing content shows no consistent time difference whatsoever. Should I be concerned about going non-deterministic?
