OK, I've read the thread (glad you pointed to it, wouldn't want to have to
repeat all that!)

As far as I can see you want to define an abstract type O such that every O has
an OID child element, and in some concrete subtypes of O, OID will have
attributes and in others it won't. So why can't you define the top-level type
for OID as an abstract complex type with simple content having no attributes,
and then derive from it (by extension) by adding attributes where needed?
