Validation problem with user-defined derived complex types

Hi all,

I just tested the new version of XMLSpy 2005 (which I use with Saxon
8.1.1) and encountered that it reports a validation error for my XML
Schema:

"The content model of complexType "fussnoteType" must be a valid
extension of its Base Type Definition's content model"

Unfortunately, I can't figure out what this error message is trying to
tell me...

The corresponding Schema parts are:

<xs:complexType name="fussnoteType" mixed="true">
	<xs:complexContent mixed="true">
		<xs:extension base="markedTextType">
			<xs:attribute name="nummer">
				<xs:simpleType>
					<xs:restriction
base="xs:string"/>
				</xs:simpleType>
			</xs:attribute>
			<xs:attribute name="id" use="optional">
				<xs:simpleType>
					<xs:restriction base="xs:ID">
						<xs:pattern
value="fn-?\d+"/>
					</xs:restriction>
				</xs:simpleType>
			</xs:attribute>
			<xs:attributeGroup ref="herausgeberAttributes"/>
		</xs:extension>
	</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>

Which is derived from 

<xs:complexType name="markedTextType" mixed="true">
	<xs:complexContent mixed="true">
		<xs:restriction base="markedTextVersionType">
			<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
				<xs:element name="klammer_eckig"
type="markedTextType" minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element name="fett"
type="markedTextType" minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element name="kursiv"
type="markedTextType" minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element name="hoch"
type="markedTextType" minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element name="tief"
type="markedTextType" minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element name="fussnote"
type="fussnoteType" minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element ref="fussnote_ref"
minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element ref="satz"
minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element ref="zeilenumbruch"
minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element ref="fuellzeichen"
minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element ref="verweis_int"
minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element ref="verweis_ext"
minOccurs="0"/>
					<xs:element ref="verweis_url"
minOccurs="0"/>
					<!-- Added 2004-10-19 by Roman

				</xs:choice>
			</xs:restriction>
		</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>

Which is furthermore derived from

<xs:complexType name="markedTextVersionType" mixed="true">
	<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
		<xs:element name="klammer_eckig"
type="markedTextVersionType" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element name="fett" type="markedTextVersionType"
minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element name="kursiv" type="markedTextVersionType"
minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element name="hoch" type="markedTextVersionType"
minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element name="tief" type="markedTextVersionType"
minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element name="fussnote" type="fussnoteType"
minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="fussnote_ref" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="version" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="satz" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="zeilenumbruch" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="fuellzeichen" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="verweis_int" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="verweis_ext" minOccurs="0"/>
		<xs:element ref="verweis_url" minOccurs="0"/>
	</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>

It is interesting that validating this schema in another view of XMLSpy
other than "text" is giving me no error....
Therefore I am a little bit mixed up, if there is a problem with my
Schema or with the validation process....

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

wbr,
Roman
