Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="www.terminal.org"
xmlns="www.terminal.org">

 <xsd:simpleType name="terminalType">
  <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
   <xsd:pattern value="t\d+"/>
  </xsd:restriction>
 </xsd:simpleType>

 <xsd:simpleType name="terminalList">
  <xsd:list itemType="terminalType"/>
 </xsd:simpleType>

 <xsd:complexType name="terminals">
  <xsd:simpleContent>
   <xsd:extension base="terminalList">
    <xsd:attribute name="n" type="xsd:positiveInteger"/>
   </xsd:extension>
  </xsd:simpleContent>
 </xsd:complexType>

 <xsd:element name="terminal" type="terminals"/>
</xsd:schema>
