You're right that the sForS doesn't rule this out. Neither is there
an XML Representation contstraint which rules it out, and there
probably should be.
But this isn't too serious, because the mapping rules for
<complexType> with <simpleContent> ignore the 'mixed' attribute, so
your example is mapped as if the 'mixed' wasn't there.
It would be easy to add a clause to 3.4.3 to remove this confusion,
and we should.
