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").
