Example 1
<xs:element name="person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:all>
<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:all>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:all>
<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:all>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
The example above indicates that the "firstname" and the "lastname" elements can appear in any order but both elements MUST occur once and only once!
Example 2
<xs:element name="person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:all minOccurs="0">
<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:all>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:all minOccurs="0">
<xs:element name="firstname" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="lastname" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:all>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
The example above indicates that the "firstname" and the "lastname" elements can appear in any order and each element CAN appear zero or one time!
