Hello Jeff,<o:p></o:p>

Try using <except>
with <anyName> to eliminate the elements for which you want to provide
definitions and avoid ambiguity and conflicts. This way you can tell the
processor "don't bother with any of these, except the ones for which I have
provided definitions". This is lax.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

one problem is that this definition conflicts with element definitions already

don't have time right now to give a complete example, but I'm thinking (perhaps
wrongly) that the above definition will not restrict content for those elements

For lax validation in RELAX NG you could take a look
at the RELAX NG Tutorial by James Clark and Murata Makoto. Section 11 (Name
Classes) handles this issue.

This has got to be a FAQ, but no luck with googling:



Trying to find a shorthand method to validate content using lax 

constraints in RELAX NG.  I want something like this:



#=================

namespace foo = "http://www.w3.org/foo"



qux =

    element baz {empty}     # some
element 



bar =

    element bar { anyLax* }  #allow baz, bar,
anyOtherElement



anyOtherElement =

  element * -
foo:*  {        # any
elements not in this namespace

    attribute * { text }*,

     (text

     | anyOtherElement)*

  }



anyLax = (

        grammar
{*}            
#all patterns

        )*



#===========



Don't work, though.



Only examples I've seen enumerate all the grammars by name in the 

schema. Doesn't appear there is wildcard of that type.
