Hello, sorry for double message boris, I pressed reply instead of reply to
all

Am I wrong in thinking that

<apple/> validated by element
<apple/> validated by any
<apple/> validated by element

is impossible with your current schema declaration ? sequence minOccurs="1"
by default, since, in a sequence, elements can only appear in written
orders, you couldn't have an element after any, other than any ?
But then I probably missed some subtle (or not so subtle) declaration in
your schema.

I'd be glad if you could clear that up :)
