xs:simpleType elements may be used directly in xs:schema or xs:redefine elements, in which case they define types identified with their name attribute. Or they may be used in xs:attribute, xs:element, xs:list, xs:restriction, or xs:union elements, in which case they define anonymous types that are used strictly within those contexts.

The nature of the type is defined by restriction, list, or union, but must be based on a simple type (either predefined by XML Schema or user-defined in the schema).
