I am trying to write an XML Schema to support the following problem:

Let's say I have the following xml instance to represent a set of objects
named "pantalla".
---------------
<pantallas xmlns="http://www.telenium.es/XML"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.telenium.es/XML pantallas.xsd">
  <pantalla nombre="Prueba">
    <parametros>
      <parametro nombre="p1"/>
    </parametros>
    <dimensiones x="100" y="100"/>
    <consulta valor="titulo">
      <texto nombre="T1" ancho="40" alto="10"/>
    </consulta>
    <recurso valor="boton">
      <texto nombre="B1" ancho="20" alto="20"/>
    </recurso>
    <consulta valor="foto">
      <imagen nombre="F1" ancho="100" alto="40" x="10" y="80"/>
    </consulta>
  </pantalla>
</pantallas>
---------------

1. "pantallas" has 0 or more "pantalla" in it.

2. Every "pantalla" has an attribute "nombre" (required)

3. Every "pantalla" has a prologue made of a set of elements like
"parametros" or "dimensiones".
3.1. "parametros" can appear only once (for a given "pantalla"), but it's
optional
3.2. "dimensiones" is required

4. Every "pantalla" has a rest of the content. It is made of elements
"consulta" or "recurso" in any order and number.

5. "consulta" and "recurso" have some common characteristics:
5.1. Both have an attribute called "valor"
5.2. Both can content an element "texto"
5.3. Only "consulta" can content an element "imagen"

6. "texto" and "consulta" have a common set of attributes: "nombre", "ancho"
and "alto"


I've tried the following XSD but unsuccesfully because I've not been able to
write the rules for (4) and (5.3):

I'll be extremely grateful for your help. And just in case... I wish you a
very good New Year.
