A model group definition which contains within it an anonymous complex
type definition which itself references that very group is allowed, if
slightly odd:
<xs:group name="list">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="item">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="value"/>
<xs:group ref="list" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:group>
Attempting to redefine such a group by extension is impossible,
because clause 6.1 of Schema Representation Constraint: Redefinition
Constraints and Semantics fires and raises an error.
We need to clarify that the references checked are those within the
content model as such, not within types embedded therein.
