RE: "mixing" simpleType and complexType

Your <peculiar> element has mixed content, and XSD 1.0 gives you no way to
constrain the text that may appear in an element with mixed content.

You can do this using assertions in XSD 1.1:

<xs:element name="peculiar">
  <xs:complexType mixed="true">
    ...
    <xs:assert test="matches(text(), '\p{IsGreek}+')"/>

Implemented in Saxon 9.1.
