Saxon uses the Thompson/Tobin 2003 algorithm, with the default limits set to
100 for minOccurs and 250 for maxOccurs; the new version 8.1.1 issued today
allows these limits to be configured (but of course you'll run out of memory
if you set them too high).

A public thanks for the algorithm - a fine example of researchers using
their grants to deliver something that's actually useful. I'm looking
forward to seeing the new version.
