  I am afraid I don't see exactly what you mean.  How can I define an
extension of a simple type within the extension of a complex type
(within an attribute redefinition)?  And if I could, that would then
allow more values for the attribute, not set a fixed value, wouldn't
it?  But I'm sure I just missed something...

  That's exactly why I asked for 1.0 ;-)
