Not entirely clear what your required functionality is.

You could get flexible functionality, without multiple types being
involved, as follows:

Schema 1:
        <xs:element name="slug" abstract="true"/>
	<xs:element name="br" substitutionGroup="slug"/>
	<xs:element name="p" type="textBaseType" substitutionGroup="slug"/>
	<xs:element name="span" type="spanType" substitutionGroup="slug"/>
	<xs:element name="ul" type="ulType" substitutionGroup="slug"/>
	<xs:element name="table" type="tableType" substitutionGroup="slug"/>
	<xs:complexType name="textBaseType" mixed="true">
	  <xs:element ref="slug" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </xs:complexType>


Schema 2:

        <xs:include schemaLocation="schema 1"/>
	<xs:element name="li" type="tableType" substitutionGroup="slug"/>
