Can I restrict both attribute contents and element contents in schema

[Don Adams]

I would like to have the following XML:
<phone type="work">555-123-1234</phone>
<phone type="home">555-123-4321</phone>

Is it possible to write a schema to restrict the contents of
the type attribute to be enumerated ("work" or "home") AND restrict the
contents of the <phone> element to match the pattern \d\d\d-\d\d\d-\d\d\d\d
?

I know how to do one or the other, but I haven't figured out a way
to do both. It seems that the pattern restriction can only be
applied to a simple type, but a simple type cannot have attributes. So
what I want to do may not be possible. Is this correct?

Here is a schema that defines your element phone and an element root to
contain a sequence of phone elements

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:element name="root">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="phone" maxOccurs="unbo unded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<xs:element name="phone">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:simpleConte nt>
<xs:extension base="phoneNo">
<xs:attribute name="type" type="homeWork" />
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleConten t>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<xs:simpleTyp e name="phoneNo">
<xs:restricti on base="xs:string ">
<xs:pattern value="\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

<xs:simpleTyp e name="homeWork" >
<xs:restricti on base="xs:string ">
<xs:enumerati on value="home" />
<xs:enumerati on value="work" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

</xs:schema>
