Hmm, I think you are right... According with the spec the {attribute
uses} will be
***
{attribute uses} A union of sets of attribute uses as follows:
1 The set of attribute uses corresponding to the <attribute> [children],
if any.
2 The {attribute uses} of the attribute groups ·resolved· to by the
·actual value·s of the ref [attribute] of the <attributeGroup>
[children], if any.
3 The {attribute uses} of the type definition ·resolved· to by the
·actual value· of the base [attribute], unless the <restriction>
alternative is chosen, in which case some members of that type
definition's {attribute uses} may not be included, namely those whose
{attribute declaration}'s {name} and {target namespace} are the same as
one of the following:
3.1 The {name} and {target namespace} of the {attribute declaration} of
an attribute use in the set per clause 1 or clause 2 above;
3.2 what would have been the {name} and {target namespace} of the
{attribute declaration} of an attribute use in the set per clause 1
above but for the ·actual value· of the use [attribute] of the relevant
<attribute> among the [children] of <restriction> being prohibited.
***
a set consisting of one attribute use corresponding to
<xsd:attribute name="boo"/>
from the "type" complex type.
Now, the error reported by Xerces is wrong but do you see a benefit of
allowing this? IMO a duplicate attribute element should be an error.
Best Regards,
George
