Thanks for your reply. How would the xsd to look like if I want to have to have a document - that contains elements in no specific order - where some elements must be present and always have values of a specific type Neighter all, sequence nor choice seems to be correct.

Yes, because the default for minLength is 0. The behavior you see is therefore the expected behavior. > XML: > ---- > <root> > <a></a> <-- if a is <a> is included it should have an xs:string text > node > <a></a> <-- a second <a> is also not allowed </root> > > XSD fragment: > ------------- > <xs:element name="root"> > <xs:complexType> > <xs:choice maxOccur="1"> <-- why does > it not invalidate the second <a>? Because you've placed the maxOccurs facet on the choice, not on the individual element - if you intend to restrict element <foo> to one occurrence max, the maxOccurs facet has to be an attribute of the <xs:element> element. You may also not want to use a choice there, since there is only one possible value.
