This is also valid though does not make much sense (e.g, a choice
between two equivalent elements). One scenario where repeating
the same element would me sense is something along these lines:

<xs:complexType name="interface_type">
  <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="ifid" type="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="foo" type="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="ifid" type="xs:string"/>
  </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

I.e., you want an element ifid followed by element foo which in turn
is followed by another element ifid.
