XS expressivity problem

Hello.

I planned to use the following in a schema: inside an <choice> group having
several elements with the same name but different types. Can I write this in
a schema? I attached test.xsd as an example, and tes2.xml as a valid - imo -
document for test.xsd.

In fact, this translates to two different questions:

1. Is this construction allowed by the W3C schema specifications?
2. Is this construction implemented by any tools (validators etc.) I've
tried some validators, and they seem to fail, either silently by choosing
a wrong validation or by verbosely telling me that the schema is
non-deterministic etc. (which is not)

Thanks.

Cipi
