Description Michael Kay 2008-08-05 09:53:00 UTC 
The content model for xs:schema is given as

Content: ((include | import | redefine | override | annotation)*, (defaultOpenContent, annotation*)?, (((simpleType | complexType | group | attributeGroup) | element | attribute | notation), annotation*)*)

As far as I can tell the parens around (simpleType | complexType | group | attributeGroup) are completely redundant.

(It's a shame that the annotation elements in this content model can't be described using openContent - it would be possible if a wildcard could define a list of permitted QNames, rather than just a list of forbidden QNames).
