The schema is not valid.  The derived type violates the requirement
that the only place an 'all' group can appear is all alone as the only
group in a type.  XSV should check for this, but doesn't [1]:
 
 "<all> groups are [not] properly constrained as to how they appear in
schemas"
 
I understand how this results from the definitions, but IMHO there is a
problem here.
Consider a case in which object A inherits from object B and both have
attributes that should be serialized. When building the matching schema,
it's either forgetting about the inheritance or using a 'sequence' and
not 'all' in the definition of   both the base type and the extending
type. The latter however has the poor outcome of forcing order on the
object's attributes. 
Am I missing something here?
