Correction: Restricting an anyType?

Sorry - in my haste to get the question out 
via a trimmed down schema I cocked it up.  

Here is the question again:

In the following schema I use an anyType element 
to head a substitutionGroup.  
I use this in a content model for ValType, with 
unlimited cardinality.  

I define a complexType and two elements based on 
it in the substitutionGroup.  
Then I try to derive IdentifiersPropertyType 
containing these, by restriction from ValType.  

Spy says OK, but Xerces (via SQC) says this is illegal.  

Who's correct?

Here is the real problem schema:

==============
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema targetNamespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  <!-- =========================================================== -->
  <element name="_Object" type="anyType" abstract="true"/>
  <element name="_property" type="anyType" abstract="true"/>
  <!-- =========================================================== -->
  <complexType name="ValType">
    <sequence>
      <element ref="gml:_Object" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </sequence>
  </complexType>
  <element name="_val" type="gml:ValType" abstract="true"
substitutionGroup="gml:_property"/>
  <!-- =========================================================== -->
  <complexType name="IdentifiersPropertyType">

      <restriction base="gml:ValType">
        <sequence>

          <element ref="gml:Alias" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </sequence>
      </restriction>

  <element name="Alias" type="gml:IdentifierType"
