RE: A complex type cannot be a restriction of a simpleType ??

Hi,

I think I would drop you a note on the Castor behavior:

Castor is right (please tell me here if I am wrong) since the schema is
missing an explicit targetNamespace so Castor assumes that the
targetNamespace is going to be http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema and thus
when resolving 'ID', it will find {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}ID
which is a simpleType. Thus an exception is thrown.
Adding a targetNamespace to the XML Schema will fix the problem, however
I wonder if the XML type resolution algorithm is correct and I couldn't
find any hint in the spec.

Thanks,

Arnaud
