No, I didn't say equivalent, I said the global def'n is brought in to
play by the ref.

Note that the following is not allowed, reasoning as before (same
name, two types):

<schema xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema'
        targetNamespace='http://www.example.com/toony'
        xmlns:my='http://www.example.com/toony'
        elementFormDefault='qualified'>

<element name='foo' type='integer'>

<comlexType name='tt'>
 <sequence>
  <element ref='my:foo'/>
  <element name='foo' type='string'/>
 </sequence>
</complexType>
