once you allow text, a sequence child would be invalid and an alternate 
would be redundant (if we stick in the world of xml). both also open the 
door to invalid xml by tweaking of occurrence attributes

clearly we need some scematron rules to explain this

i did consider a special mixedContent element but then you'd have to use 
that with empty content to mean text only which seemed weirder
