RE: implementing redefines - additional test

I think, and Saxon thinks, that this is clearly an error:

Error at xs:simpleType on line 7 of file:/c:/temp/final7.xsd:
  Cannot refine the simple type base because it is not present in the
redefined schema

(It is problematic, of course, because the spec for redefine, like that for
include, is very muddled about whether you're loading a set of schema
components (a schema) or a schema document. It seems to be something in
between - you're loading a set of partially created schema components that
are still strongly linked to the schema document in which they were defined.
Until the spec sorts out this basic problem, it's going to be very hard to
specify redefine more precisely.)
