Is this <xs:unique> correct?

If I have a schema representing a document like this:

<file>
  <group>
    <field name="field1"/>
    <datefield name="field1"/>
  </group>
  <section>
    <field name="field3"/>
  </section>
</file>


And I have the following xs:unique defined in the <file> element:

<xs:unique name="FieldName">
  <xs:selector xpath=".//datefield | .//field"/>
  <xs:field xpath="@name"/>
</xs:unique>


Should that make the instance document above invalid (as there are two
fields called "field1")?

I've tried this in XMLSpy4, which seems to claim full W3C Schema
compliance, and it does not give me an error.
