RE: different attribute value sets for the same element ref?

Thanks - I am still unsure whether it is correct syntax to create this
restriction below a reference to an element (and also below a reference to
an attribute)

Is it?

                        <xs:enumeration value="X" />

                                <xs:enumeration value="Z" />
                </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>

In XML Schema choices between values are provided by restricting the
relevant simple type with enumerated values, as follows:

  <xs:attribute name="name">
    <xs:simpleType>
      <xs:restriction base="xs:token">
        <xs:enumeration value="X" />
        <xs:enumeration value="Y" />
        <xs:enumeration value="Z" />
      </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>
  </xs:attribute>
