As the release of the iso spec and corresponding xsd is simply inconsistent, there is no simple way forward here.

We came to the decision that it is likely that implementers start from the XSD, than from the written definition in the spec table (it seems you did, too?).
The assessment included that it does hurt less to allow more than one of each mutual exclusive type of element, than restricting the quantity to one and thereby - potentially - making transformation from a XML SWID tag that uses the unbounded quantity harder.

Having said this. Do you still think it would be better to restrict the quantity here to 1?
