[osis-core] <div> model question???

Guys,
I am slowing but surely working my way backwards (perhaps I should be
going forwards?) ;-) through the OSIS posts.
I think I may have been misunderstanding Harry's (and Chris's) posts on
<div> so I will try again (not that I am convinced by the tail recursion
consideration but if we can have that and a useful content model, so
much the better).
I understand the model to allow <div> to nest within <div> to any level,
but that the nested <div> would always occur after any other content of
the <div>.
Hmmm, the more I think about actual texts that I have encoded (mainly
periodicals and some monographs), the less likely I think you are to
encounter what I suggested in my earlier post.
Counter cases anyone?
Assuming I don't have any by the time I post later today, will be using
Harry's suggested:
><xs:element name="div">
> <xs:complexType mixed="true">
> <xs:sequence>
> <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"> [lots of stuff here]
></xs:choice>
> <xs:element ref="div" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded/>
> </xs:sequence>
>
with the change that I will be dropping <div> from the choice group.
Sorry if I was being thick on this one. Something still nags me about it
but that is not a good reason to not do it this way.
