Hi,

I think there is an inconsistency in the structure spec
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1). According to 3.4.2, 'restriction' can
have a child element 'simpleType', in which case, the 'base' attribute in
'restriction' should be omitted. But in appendix A "Schema for Schemas",
'base' is always 'required' for 'restriction'.

My opinion is that 'base' should be 'optional' for 'restriction'.

Thanks,
