Description Sandy Gao 2005-09-12 16:44:41 UTC 
Consider:

<complexType name="something" mixed="true">
	<simpleContent>
		<restriction base="string">
		</restriction>
	</simpleContent>
</complexType>
This is a unique combination, a complex type with simple content and mixed 
content type. I believe that this combination is valid per XML Schema 1.0 REC.

Personally, I believe that this combination is invalid and hope this will be 
ruled out explicitly.

Resolution:
The WG discussed this issue at the Sept. 13 telecon, and agreed to add 
a "warning" about this now (2nd edition), with the intent that constraints will 
be added to 1.1. HT to draft erratum.
