Re: can an attribute prohibited by restriction be added back through a subsequent extension?

I am certain that the intention is that the answer be "no", and the first
clause of Schema Component Constraint: Derivation Valid (Extension) is supposed
to rule it out. However, given that a "prohibited" attribute produces no
component in the component model, it looks like there is a bug in that clause
that fails to account for that case.
