what about this:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="Cat" type="AnimalType"/>
<xsd:element name="Dog" type="AnimalType"/>
<xsd:complexType name="AnimalType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="height" .../>
<xsd:element name="weight" .../>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
...
</xsd:schema>
I recall using a construction like this when I started with XML schema's.
XMLSpy did validate, but I am not quite sure if it is allowed. I prefer
using different XML schema's...
