Re: a simple question about ComplexContent schema element

At first glance, it appears you are trying to restrict and extend in the
same step.  That can't be done.  You can do both, but they need to be in
separate steps.
Adding an attribute to a base of string is an extension, so you can't use
xsd:restriction in that step.

You can create a type that adds the attribute (extend), then create another
type that restricts the first type to minLength.  It will take two types to
do it.
