These are issues I found very difficult to work with, but I agree with
Murata-san that it makes a great trial
and test case for RELAX NG's features.

Keeping both XSD and RELAX NG in your head at the same time is not easy
with these kinds of edge cases,
and it is great if we are closer to having a translator that works in
many more cases. It is telling that James
Clark didn't attempt the conversion in Jing. So well done!
