Is the following recursive definition valid? 

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 		targetNamespace="http://foo.com"
 		xmlns="http://foo.com"
 		elementFormDefault="qualified">
 
 	<xsd:simpleType name="abcOrBoolean">
 		<xsd:union memberTypes="xsd:boolean abc"/>
 	<xsd:simpleType>
 
 	<xsd:simpleType name="abc">
 		<xsd:restriction base="abcOrBoolean">
 			<xsd:minLength value="5"/>
 		<xsd:restriction>
 	<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:schema>

Henry's response: 

"Not allowed. There is an erratum forthcoming which is intended to clarify 
this, but, irritatingly, it doesn't catch the above case. I expect yet another 
erratum will do so."
