Hi, Sorry this comment is late, but I just caught this a week ago. It's most likely been pointed out already by someone else: The spec states that simpleContent can restrict an existing simple type, but within the context of defining a complex type I can't see how it would be used. Since a simple type can't have an attribute, and a complex type with simple content would be expected to have at least one, how can restricting a simple type be of any use in that case? One would just use an anonymous simple type and restrict that. To summarize, I can't think of a case where you can have a restrict clause in a simpleContent tag within the context of a complexType definition. Maybe you could enlighten me?
