I do not see any problem in the schemas, Xerces 2.7.1 validates the 
instance document without problems.
Note that xs:element/@name value is a non qualified name so it does not 
require a default namespace and it is not allowed to specify a prefix; 
the global elements belong to the schema target namespace.

Best Regards,
George
