Re: Re-using XSD schema-for-schemasIn simpleType derivation-by restriction,
is it legal to apply both enumeration and pattern constraints in the same
derivation step?  The first rule in
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#defn-rep-constr appears to allow it, and I
can't find anything that disallows it.

In other words, is this valid?

<simpleType name="DrillCodeType">
    <restriction base="string">
      <enumeration value="RAB"/>
      <enumeration value="RC"/>
      <enumeration value="DD"/>
      <enumeration value="DD-HQ"/>
      <enumeration value="DD-NQ"/>
      <pattern value="other:\w{2,}"/>
    </restriction>
  </simpleType>

If yes, is it still OK if the pattern used for a restiction of simpleContent
in a complexType definition.
