Hi,

Try:

<xsd:complexType name="itemType">
  <xsd:simpleContent>
  	<xsd:extension base="xsd:positiveInteger">
	  <xsd:attribute name="sometext" type="xsd:string"/>
  	</xsd:extension>
  </xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:element name="item" type="itemType"/>

Hope that helps,
Priscilla
