Re: Differences in derivation by extension of complex types between Schema 1.0 and 1.1

I think you followed it correctly, and if I read Schema 1.1 section 
3.4.6.2 Derivation Valid (Extension) correctly, Type2 would not be a 
legal extension  (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/#coss-ct).

Also, this discussion relates: 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlschema-dev/2006Feb/0001.html

I'm thinking Schema 1.1 is tightening up something that was overlooked 
in 1.0.
