Can some XML expert step up here? :)
Just don't use XSD. It's wrong to assume that of all schema languages, this one is in any way special or "official". It's just one of the many, and a quite poor one at that. As for me, I prefer Schematron, where such check would be trivial.

Hey! Thanks for all your comments. I suppose I was stuck with the XSD idea as the most 'common' approach having the most tools to work with and the one I was most familiar with it but I guess this is part the open source spirit (and what I like about it) to use to best and most sensible solutions rather than the 'bought-in' ones.
The support for RelaxNG in libxaml2 is convincing enough for me. I shall venture down that path then (scrap the XSD) and see what I can create. We all learn new things every day.
PS. There really is no way to do the validation in XSD as it stands now. -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ [GPG Key ID: 0D5581C5]
