Why is this model non-deterministic?

Turbo XML (aka XML Authority, latest version) tells me that in the following
schema person, date, time, markedUpTextNoLinkType and captionType are
non-deterministic.  I cannot figure out why.  Can anybody explain?  Notice
that the elements of markedUpTextNoLinkType that are not based on
derivations by extension seem to be OK.

Here's the schema:
