List of union

Hello,

My understanding of the concept of list, as defined in XML Schema
recommendation, would make me think that a list whose {item type definition}
has the variety union is valid only if the union does not contain any simple
type definitions having the variety list among its {member type
definitions}.

I looked in the XML Schema Part 1 and 2 for some text confirming that, but I
haven't found it.  I also looked in the archives of xmlschema-dev list for
an explanation, and I have found confirmation of my hypothesis, but none of
the answers refere to a clause stating it clearly.  Is this restriction
explained somewhere in the recommendation?

Thanks,

Michael
