I'm not sure it helps any in specifying what's legal in the card-min  
and card-max occurrences, to be honest. We still wouldn't have a  
simple datatype to define in the TMCL schema.

On the other hand, the resulting schemas would certainly look better.  
And we'd have to do something similar, anyway, to ensure that a  
cardinality like 1 (which is not a decimal) is acceptable.

I think if we say that cardinalities must be either a non-negative  
integer or Inf, that's acceptable. I think I still prefer the  
cardinality topics, but I could live with this solution.
