When a type R restricts a base type B, then R
inherits any attributes in B unless it has declarations
of its own with the same names.  (That is, for
attributes, silence implies inheritance, not 
omission.)  So I don't THINK this is a bug, if I
have correctly understood your comment.

In any case, yes, this is definitely the right place
to send bug reports on the XML Schema spec.
