2.4.4 Top level definitions
First para following the rules for formal EBNF, second sentence:
"In the case of a complex type, or a simple type derived by list 
or union, derivation indicates if the type is derived by extension
or restriction from its base type."  But: a union type does not 
have a base type, so the reference to them appears out of place
here.
