Given a very simple "database type" XML file....

<database name="mydatabase">
<table name="fruit">
<row>
<field name="name">Kumquat</field>
<field name="colour">Kind of orangey</field>
</row>
<row>
<field name="name">Lychee</field>
<field name="colour">Reddish</field>
</row>
</table>
</database>


I simply cant get the XSD right to validate when the text part of the
<field> element is missing ( i.e. Kumquat or Lychee)


Well what exactly do you want to specify in your schema? A minimum length? Then define a simpleType with the minimum length and use that simple type name

<xs:complexType name="fieldtype">
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">

here instead of xs:string as the base type.
