Issue

We found scl:tText,scl:tPrivate both are derived from scl:tAnyContentFromOtherNamespace, but scl:tAnyContentFromOtherNamespace doesn't specify it can contain a text node like scl:Val does (element can hold value). In practice a lot of users actually create a text node for scl:Text or scl:Private element.

Proposal

Add a scl:tAnyContentFromOtherNamespaceWithVal to SCL_BaseTypes.xsd and have scl:tAnyContentFromOtherNamespaceWithVal specified with a base of xsd:normalizedString. Have scl:tText and scl:tPrivate derived from scl:tAnyContentFromOtherNamespaceWithVal instead of scl:tAnyContentFromOtherNamespace
