XML Schema Question

[Raphael A. Bauer]

Hi!

I have the folwing problem with my xml schema. I want the xml file to look like:

<elementONE>
...
</elementONE>

---OR----

<elementTWO>
...
</elementTWO>

The problem is that I don't know how to formulate this "OR" within the XML Schema. I think about using something like <xs:complexType> <xs:choice> <xs:element name="elementONE"> ... </xs:element> <xs:element name="elementTWO"> ... </xs:element> </xs:choice> </xs:complexType>

But that doesn't work out because for that I would imho need a surrounding named element, but I don't want a new surrounding element. I just want something like xs:element name="elementONE"|name="elementTWO"
- to say - in fact the elementONE and elementTWO contain the same content, but they differ only in the name because of "historical" reasons...

Any hints for a frustrated schema (re)maker?

Many thanks in advance,

Raph

<xs:schema ...>
...
<xs:element name="elementONE" type="OneTwoElem"/>
<xs:element name="elementTwo" type="OneTwoElem"/>
...
<xs:complexType name="OneTwoElem">
...
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
