as the base type.)

Klaas,
Asking the valid facets is really a question about what facets are
allowed in any derived class based on that type, it's not a question
about what syntactically I can do with the type definition itself. The
contents can really be one of three different things depending on the
nature of the simple type:
/**
* Returns the value of the '<em><b>Contents</b></em>' containment
reference list.
* The list contents are of type {@link
org.eclipse.xsd.XSDSimpleTypeDefinition}.
* <!-- begin-user-doc -->

type definition content of a

element.

EList getContents();
I believe that a simple test to know if it's syntactically valid to add
facets to a given simple type is to test if the variety of the base type
is the same as the variety of the type itself.

OK, I will do that. But why do I get a list of valid facets for the
simpleType if it isn't allowed to attach facets to it? This prevents me from
generically allowing editing the facets of types. Instead I have to ask
whether I edit a list-, union- or atomic-type and only then I know whether I

This is also a problem in the Eclipse plugin: If you create a new list type
and the right click on it -> New Child. There you will see that it allows to
add facets directly to the type which will also result in a wrong serialized
type.

Klaas,
There's always a base type definition, even if it is just
anyType/anySimpleType.
Some of these scenarios are tricky to enforce because setting one thing
may invalidate something you've already set. For example, I could add a
simple type definition to the contents of a simple type definition and
then set it as the base type, item type, or member type after, so you
kind of need to know what you are doing. (The editor should do a better
job, but we don't have the resource to make the editor really nice.)
Validation should diagnose any errors in how things are set up.

Should the XSD plugin be comfortable enough that it is impossible to create
invalid schemas or does the user have to know what he's doing? If it should
be impossible to create invalid schema instances then you have to add the
test into the plugin, too.
