Harry,

Thanks for the quick response!

Note that 007 (this evening) will not have the "[ ]" in the regex.

Think I have found (in conversation with Steve) the constraint problem. 
<div> for example has two occurrence models, one where it is required 
<osisText> and one where it is optional <div>. Will make it optional in 
<osisText> which should not be a problem since it is the only container 
for its subelements and see if that fixes the problem. Works "as is" for 
editors today but someday conformant software will appear and I want the 
schema to work then as well. ;-)
