Your schema seems to be a mixture of the W3C XML schema language and the 
old MS XDR schema language. I would not use that, I have no idea whether 
the MS XML parser supports such a mixture. Consider to forget about the 
XDR language, it is no longer supported in the latest MS parser 
implementations (like MSXML 6 or .NET 2.0's XmlReader). The W3C XML 
schema language has been standardized 2001 and has good support by 
Microsoft and other implementors (e.g. Apache Xerces).
