RE: restriction question

Your schema is invalid and the reason is given in the error message
provided by Xerces which has nothing to do with the types being in
different namespaces. Although the problem is due to namespaces. 

Both schemas define local elements yet set
elementFormDefault="qualified". This means that the Street, State and
Country elements in schema 1 are from the http://www.test.com/sample
namespace while the State and Country elements in schema 2 are from the
http://www.test.com/sample2 namespace. Thus SimplerAddressType is not a
valid restriction of AddressType. To solve this problem you can do two
things 

1.) Change the value of elementFormDefault to unqualified or remove it
entirely since the default is unqualified. 

2.) Define the Street, State and Country in a single schema [in schema
1, schema 2 or a new one] and reference those types from your complex
type definitions.
