Hello,
thank you very much for your prompt answer.

Shouldn't it be:
* if the type is derived by list:
the itemType attribute of the <list> or the <simpleType> within it
(what you said)
* if the type is derived by restriction:
the {base type definition}
(in the case of myOtherList the {item type description} would be myList)
Thank you,
