Consider the following:
<<
Constraint on Schemas: Element Declarations Consistent
If the {particles} contains, either directly, indirectly (that is,
within the {particles} of a contained model group, recursively) or
implicitly two or more element declaration particles with the same
{name} and {target namespace}, all their {type definition}s must be
the same.
>>
What does the phrase "must be the same" mean?
Pretty clearly, the following should be ok.
<sequence>
<element name="a" type="x"/>
<element name="a" type="x"/>
</sequence>
But is this ok, or not ok?
<sequence>
<element name="a">
<type>
<element name="b" type="x"/>
</type>
</element>
<element name="a">
<type>
<element name="b" type="x"/>
</type>
</element>
</sequence>
