To turn the question slightly differently:
Is there a way to determine when this bug will
bite? Ie. can libxml2 recognize & warn about schema
that combine interleaves in a way it can't handle?

Currently, you can write complex schema that seem to work,
but eventually you bump into some (apparently) valid
documents fail validation;  It'd be nice to know
in advance, so we could carefully craft our schema
around the problem...

I realize this is probably hard, but just had
to ask! :>
