The Saxon code that accepts "extension" carries the comment

// The inclusion of EXTENSION here assumes the resolution of specification bug 2074
So in fact bug #5783 was a duplicate. The resolution of #2074 was to change XSD 1.0 to allow fixed="extension". But it was never implemented because the WG decided to focus on getting 1.1 finished rather than maintaining 1.0.
