Please send you bioghist code.

Without seeing it, I would suggest the following:

bioghist must have head as its first child if there is a head.
Other block elements are next (address ; chronlist ; list ; note ;
table ; blockquote ; p ; bioghist ; dao ; daogrp).

Groupings by dtd order are as follows:
1. head (if there is one)
2. address ; list; note; table; p; dao; daogrp; bioghist
    (if bioghist is a child no other children may appear except
bioghist then return to 1)
3. chronlist (no other children can follow this child)

2. Blockquote MUST have children. It is a complextype.
(@mixed="false"). (schema blockquote node below)
