simpleTypes and final

First, congratulations on release CR specs....

A question:

The Primer (24 Oct) section 4.8 paragraph 2 says that you can prevent
a particular simple type from having types derived from it.

The Datatype spec (24 Oct) section 5.1 does not indicate that the
final attribute can be specified on the simpleType element information
item.

What is the mechanism for preventing derived types from being
created from a particular simple type?
