Neat!

How is the following XML Schema complexType expressed using JCR? Note that the complexType specifies mixed content.

<xs:complexType name="InternationalString" mixed="true">
    <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xs:element name="bdo" type="bdoType" />
        <xs:element name="bdi" type="bdiType" />
    </xs:choice>
    <xs:attribute name="direction" type="directionType" />
</xs:complexType>

Next, suppose the above complexType is extended (derive-by-extension) with an attribute, as shown below. How is this second complexType expressed in JCR?

<xs:complexType name="PedigreeStringType">
    <xs:complexContent mixed="true">
        <xs:extension base="InternationalString">
            <xs:attribute name="pedigree" type="xs:string" />
        </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
