attributes on complexType from other namespace

Hi,

"3.4.2 XML Representation of Complex Type Definitions" illustrates that
any attributes with non-schema namespace are allowed for "complexType"
definition element.

However, schema for schemas does not seem to allow for this.
"complexType" element is of type "topLevelComplexType", of which
"openAttrs" is the ancestor that specifies attribute wildcard.
However, in the derivation chain there is derivation-by-restriction
used so that the wildcard attribute does not get inherited in
"topLevelComplexType".

I think "topLevelComplexType" needs to specify attribute wildcard
explicitly on its own.

Following is an excerpt from schema for schemas.

 <xs:complexType name="openAttrs">
   <xs:annotation>
     <xs:documentation>
       This type is extended by almost all schema types
       to allow attributes from other namespaces to be
       added to user schemas.
