Re: restriction against base type (choice - elt)

Hi Bharath,

It looks valid to me because the head from the base is treated as a 
choice of head, m1 and m2, see

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#cos-particle-restrict

2.1 Any top-level element declaration particle (in R or B) which is the 
{substitution group affiliation} of one or more other element 
declarations and whose ·substitution group· contains at least one 
element declaration other than itself is treated as if it were a choice 
group whose {min occurs} and {max occurs} are those of the particle, and 
whose {particles} consists of one particle with {min occurs} and {max 
occurs} of 1 for each of the declarations in its ·substitution group·.

Best Regards,
George
