has invalid child element
Your email shows exactly what's wrong with how people use XML Schema
today and the why such an obtuse recommendation (the structures part,
the datatypes section is rather decent as is the non-normative primer)
is a problem. 

If a schema fails to validate in your favorite parser, then try it one
or two others and if results are inconsistent then bring it up in a
newsgroup or on a mailing list instead of just giving up and assuming
that there is some hidden flaw in the schema that can't be discovered. 

These are the errors I get with XmlValidatingReader in .NET

[Validation error] Element 'AAA' has invalid child element
'http://www.zvon.org/
jiratj/:a'. An error occurred at empty.xml(3, 45).
[Validation error] The 'http://www.zvon.org/jiratj/:a' element is not
declared.
An error occurred at empty.xml(3, 45).
       
while MSXML says 

[Validation Error] Element Conetent is Invalid According to DTD/Schema
