It should be.
I also use complex types derived by extension in schemas, they map
quite well onto Java class hierarchies.
Derivation by restriction does not fit well, that's true, but quite a
lot of schema constructs are quite allright.
So don't be afraid, feel free to use type extensions. They work quite well.
Bye.
