Christian,
This is kludgy, and there may be a better way to do it (if so, someone
will suggest it shortly I am sure).
(1) Declare type XY as an abstract type, in the "extended" namespace
(2) Use the xsd:any wildcard element, as you suggest below
(3) With the xsd:any element, specify a "namespace" attribute of the
"extended" namespace identifier - Ex:
<any namespace="extended_namespace_identifier_goes_here"
...rest of declaration.../>
I also don't believe that your namespace identifiers of "core" and
"extended" are valid URIs, as required.
Kind Regards,
Joe Chiusano
