Re: [Xsltforms-support] Adding optional elements to an XML document

[Ihe O. <ihe...@go...>]

In your position I would explore using xsd:all instead of xsd:sequence
so that the elements can appear in any order in the instance or switch
to a relax schema or xsd 1.1 and use interleave.

Operative word in the above being explore. Someone who has tried it
may advise otherwise.
