Use the modified-identity-transformation pattern:
<xsl:template match="*|node()">
<xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/></xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xs:simpleType//xs:simpleType"/>
However, note that your desired output is not a valid XSD document fragment.

Hi Folks,
This simpleType element contains within it another simpleType element:
<xs:simpleType name="BostonAreaElevation">
<xs:restriction>
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:int">
<xs:minInclusive value="-1290" />
<xs:maxInclusive value="29035" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:minInclusive value="0" />
<xs:maxInclusive value="120" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
I want to remove the inner simpleType, thus producing:
<xs:simpleType name="BostonAreaElevation">
<xs:restriction>
<xs:minInclusive value="0" />
<xs:maxInclusive value="120" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
I seek an elegant way to accomplish this.
The following is one way to accomplish it. Is there a more elegant way to accomplish it?
<xsl:variable name="outer-simpleType">
<xsl:element name="simpleType" namespace="{namespace-uri($simpleType)}">
<xsl:copy-of select="$simpleType/namespace::*" />
<xsl:for-each select="$simpleType/@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:element name="restriction" namespace="{namespace-uri(simpleType/xs:restriction)}">
<xsl:copy-of select="$simpleType/xs:restriction/namespace::*" />
<xsl:for-each select="$simpleType/xs:restriction/@*">
<xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:sequence select="$simpleType/xs:restriction/xs:*[not(self::xs:simpleType)]" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:variable>
