Description
When I validate the attached XSD file with Saxon 11.4 I get an warning:
"The field expression (t:UnitName) may select no nodes, which would make the instance document invalid"
I think that Saxon should not display this warning.
The attached file is a small example from an Oxygen user that has a bigger schema.

What's happening here is that that the field expression child::t:UnitName gets rewritten as child::t:UnitName[1]. I'm not sure exactly why that happens but it's not unreasonable. But the computed cardinality of a FirstItemExpression is zero-or-one, even if the base expression has cardinality one-or-more.
However, I've tweaked FirstItemExpression.computeCardinality() to be a bit smarter and the problem remains. That's because the computed cardinality of child::t:UnitName is itself wrong.

Well, I'm very puzzled, because AxisExpression.computeCardinality() seems to make no attempt to calculate a schema-aware cardinality for the child axis. It does so for the attribute and descendant axis (which is much more complicated) but the code for the child axis seems to be missing. Of course there are few symptoms of calculating a cardinality that's not as precise as it could be.
