What part of the W3C XML Schema recommendation do you think makes this
invalid? I looked at section 3.4 of the Structures document[0] and
couldn't find any place where having a mixed attribute with the value of
true and a complexType with simpleContent is disallowed.
Furthermore the rules for determining the {content type} of the
complexType are fairly unambiguous. The simpleType derivation takes
precedence over the mixed attribute (which in fact is ignored and not
factored in at all in determining the content type).
