Description
xs:any is a wildcard that allows the insertion of
any element belonging to a list of namespaces. This particle can be
used like xs:element within choices
(xs:choice) and sequences
(xs:sequence), and the number of occurrences of
the elements that are allowed can be controlled by its
minOccurs and maxOccurs
attributes.
The list of permitted namespaces is specified though the
namespace attribute. The
namespace attribute expects a list of namespace
URIs. In this list, two values have a specific meaning:
##targetNamespace stands for the target namespace,
and ##local stands for local elements (without
namespaces). These values can be mixed in the list with regular
namespaces URIs. The whole list may also be replaced by two other
special values: ##any stands for any namespace at
all and is the default value for the namespace
attribute, and ##other stands for any namespace
other than the target namespace. When ##other is used ...
