Hello George,

Thanks for your valuable comments :-) Please find my answers inline =

><xs:simpleType name="extendedRequestState">

>           <xs:enumeration value="open.running.new1"/>
>         </xs:restriction>
>       </xs:simpleType>
>     </xs:union>
>   </xs:simpleType>

>From my understanding that should also work, when the baseState is a =
string, but it does not. What's the reason for that? 

>As a side note, in Relax NG that is really easy
