Hmm, how would I use BaseIDAbstractType to define a container for ds:KeyInfo?

<complexType name="KeyIdentifier">
  <complexContent>
    <extension base="saml:BaseIDAbstractType">
      <sequence>
        <element ref="ds:KeyInfo"/>
      </sequence>
    </extension>
  </complexContent>
</complexType>

Did I use BaseIDAbstractType correctly?
