I tested this with XSV.  Here's what I tried:

<element name="Book">
   <complexType>
      <element name="cost" type="decimal"/>
      <element name="cost" type="b:money"/>
   </complexType>
</element>
<simpleType name="money" base="decimal">
   <scale value="2"/>
</simpleType>

XSV gave an error with this, stating the cost had been multiply defined
and is therefore illegal.  /Roger
