Actually IMHO Schema 1.0 is right here and 1.1 wrong. If you have a complex type with simple content and derive from it by _extension_, why should the derived type have an empty content? Extension always increases the value space, not decreases it. I guess it is an error in 4.2.1) of http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/#dcl.ctd.ctcc.common to point to 4.1 for "empty or simple". 4.1 should only be used for the "empty" case and "simple" should be handled separately (e.g. use the content type of the base type).
