Hello Jeff,



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.

Compact syntax:

 

start = anyElement

anyElement =

  element * {

    (attribute * { text }

     | text

     | anyElement)*

  }

 

This validates an element of any name with
an attribute of any name with content of same.  I'm no RNG expert, but I've
tried this and one problem is that this definition conflicts with element
definitions already defined that have ID/IDREF's (I get an error when
parsing with Jing).  I 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 already defined, so it's
more like processContent="skip" than "lax".

equivalent of <xsd:any processContents="lax">?



 

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.
