May be included in:

attribute, choice, element, except.

Compact syntax equivalent:

nameClass|nameClass

Description:

The choice name class makes a choice between several name classes: a name will match choice if and only if it matches at least one of the sub-name classes.

Example:

 <element>
   <choice>
     <nsName ns="http://eric.van-der-vlist.com/ns/library"/>
     <nsName ns="http://eric.van-der-vlist.com/ns/person"/>
   </choice>
   <ref name="anything"/>
 </element>

Attributes:

datatypeLibrary

The datatypeLibrary attribute defines the default datatype library. The value of datatypeLibrary is inherited. Note that although datatypeLibrary is allowed in choice just as it is in other RELAX NG elements, it has no direct effect on choice itself nor on the name class definitions which might be embedded.

ns

The ns attribute defines the default namespace for the elements defined in a portion of schema. The value of ns is inherited.
