Notes
-----
The issue is that the definition of the referenced element 'subject' is duplicated.

This can be easily tested via a command like:

$ xmllint --schema XMLSchema_1.1.xsd server.xsd --noout
server.xsd:84: element element: Schemas validity error : Element '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}element': Duplicate key-sequence ['subject'] in key identity-constraint '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}element'.
server.xsd fails to validate

The corrected text contains one possible edit how to make the XSD of the server namespace valid again. Of course, another possibility would be to remove the first definition of the 'subject' element.

I've eliminated the second definition because the first one equals the one from section A.5. (Client Namespace).
