I have some types with a sequence inside, which does restrict the order of child elements. I want to remove these order restrictions. Which element should I choose, assuming that I can’t (or don’t want) change definition of child elements?
For example, if I’d change with <xs:choise maxOccurs="unbounded"> it won’t be full equivalent of <xs:sequence>, because some child elements which initially supposed to appear only once, could appear now several times.
And vice-versa, I can’t use xs:all, as now I’ll have a restriction on maximum amount of elements (no more than 1).

So, is there simple and quick solution? (to make as few changes to schema as possible)

    Short answer is you can’t.

    An option would be to define a type for each combination of node sequences which are possible and then enclose them in an but this would be faintly ridiculous.
