 impossible because your example uses parameter entity
references which 
are not described in your post. Anyway it's a matter of
reading and 
understanding the spec as the internal model is a direct
mapping:

  htt
p://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-element-content

 it reflects the choice and seq constructions it's a binary
tree obviously
once entities are expanded.
 You won't be able to make sense of the libxml2 internals
until you understand
the spec, sorry ...
