Hi Eric,

In Section 4.1.2.3 (Derivation by union) of the XML Schema Datatypes
spec, {member type definitions} is defined as:

  The sequence of Simple Type Definition components resolved to by the
  items in the actual value of the memberTypes [attribute], if any, in
  order, followed by the Simple Type Definition components resolved to
  by the <simpleType> [children], if any, in order.

So the memberTypes attribute first, embedded simple type definitions
second, I think.

Cheers,

Jeni
