This sentence seems to imply that it is even possible. Based on my reading of 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Type_Derivation (esp. 2.2.1.1 through 2.2.1.3) 
I would have thought that it isn't. The text says that all simple types are 
derivations (direct or not) of anySimpleType. Inserting a complex type in there 
would effectively change that.

Not that the spec isn't already baroque enough as it is.

<element name='time'>
   <choice>
     <text/>
     <group>
       <element name='hour'><text/></element>
       <element name='min'><text/></element>
     </group>
   </choice>
</element>

Ah well.
