Yes, there is no way to do this in W3C XML Schema unless you can use the technique
suggested by Jeff. I'm not sure if other schema dialects support this but from
what I can understand W3C XML Schema is the only dialect to support type
inheritance (except for maybe SOX) so I think you need to find another solution to
your problem.
