I think you have to make that enumeration, sorry. I have been fighting these "any element" patterns for years in the TEI world for various reason (probably similar to yours), and I have not found any other solution. In the case of the TEI, because all schemas are generated from a higher-level representation, its pretty easy to get the "a | b | c" generated for the subset of TEI you have defined. so take the hit, and generate the extra grammar file as part of the build procedure. -- Sebastian Rahtz Information Manager, Oxford University Computing Services 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN.
