According to my O'Reilly XML Pocket Reference 2nd ed. page 25 the occurrence operator "*" appearing within the parentheses means that the single element (or a grouping of elements contained inside parentheses) "May appear any number of times or not at all (zero or more times)".
The "?" occurrence operator means that the element or group "Must appear once or not at all (zero or one times)". The "+" occurrence operator means that the element or group "Must appear at least once (one or more times)".
