Re: Attribute question

I don't understand Spy's error message, but your schema is certainly
broken in various ways.

Here's something which is valid, and does what I think you want:

<xs:element name="Entrie">
 <xs:complexType>
  <xs:simpleContent>
   <xs:extension base="xs:string">
    <xs:attribute name="type" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
    <xs:attribute name="digits" type="xs:integer" use="optional"/>
   </xs:extension>
  </xs:simpleContent>
 </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
