Can anyone explain why (according to sqc) the repeated definition of
element1 is acceptable, but that of element2 is not.  According to sqc,
the definition of duplicateTest "contains directly, indirectly or
implicitly the following element declarations with same name and
targetNamespace but with different type definition" referring to the
definitions of element2.

I can't seem to find any reference to this behaviour in the spec.

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'
elementFormDefault="qualified"
>

  <xsd:element name="duplicateTest" >
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="element1" type="fooTest" />

        <xsd:element name="element2" >
          <xsd:complexType >
            <xsd:sequence >
              <xsd:element name="inner1c" />
              <xsd:element name="inner2d" />
            </xsd:sequence>
          </xsd:complexType>
        </xsd:element>

        <xsd:element name="element1" type="fooTest" />

        <xsd:element name="element2" >
          <xsd:complexType >
            <xsd:sequence >
              <xsd:element name="inner1c" />
              <xsd:element name="inner2d" />
            </xsd:sequence>
          </xsd:complexType>
        </xsd:element>

      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>


  <xsd:complexType name="fooTest">
     <xsd:sequence >
        <xsd:element name="inner1a" />
        <xsd:element name="inner2b" />
     </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>

</xsd:schema>


thanks,

Paul
