Ah. DTDs have no equivalent of xs:all at all. You either have
to tighten up the content model and require ordering, or loosen
it and allow multiple fnames and lnames.
My advice, if this is a real problem and not a mere test, would
be to go with commonName, sortName anyhow, because you cannot
be guaranteed to have just two parts to a name, nor which part is
appropriate to sort on:
<personnel>
<commonName> George W. Bush</commonName>
<sortName> Bush, George W.</sortName>
</personnel>
vs.
<personnel>
<commonName> Davíð Oddsson</commonName>
<sortName> Davíð Oddsson</sortName>
</personnel>
