Combining block and blockDefault attributes

  1. blockDefault = "restriction" and block = "extension"
XML Schema keys: block, blockDefault

1. blockDefault = "restriction" and block = "extension"

The values of block and blockDefault attributes were combined and thus we can use the elements "C" or "E" only. (The type of "D" is derived by an extension from the type "AAA" and the type of "F" is derived by a restriction from the type "AAA" - both cases are in conflict with the "block" or "blockDefault" attributes).
