anyType question

[Jesus M. Salvo Jr.]

Given the following snippets from a schema definition ( look in 
particular on the element name "Details" .. ):

   <xs:complexType name="responseStatusType">
       <xs:annotation>
           <xs:documentation>Status information conveyed in 
responses</xs:documentation>
       </xs:annotation>
       <xs:all>
           <xs:element name="StatusCode">
               <xs:simpleType>
                   <xs:restriction base="tns:statusCodeType"/>
               </xs:simpleType>
           </xs:element>
           <xs:element name="StatusText" type="tns:statusTextType"/>
           <xs:element name="Details" type="tns:anyDataType" 
minOccurs="0"/>
       </xs:all>
   </xs:complexType>

... and this ...:
   <xs:complexType name="anyDataType">
       <xs:annotation>
           <xs:documentation>Any element and attribute </xs:documentation>
       </xs:annotation>
       <xs:complexContent>
           <xs:restriction base="xs:anyType">
               <xs:sequence>
                   <xs:any processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" 
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
               </xs:sequence>
           </xs:restriction>
       </xs:complexContent>
   </xs:complexType>

... and given the following snipped from the XML document:
<Status>
   <StatusCode>4001</StatusCode>
   <StatusText>Improper identification</StatusText>
   <Details>Not a valid VASPID</Details>
</Status>
JAXP + Xerces 2.2.1 with schema validation reports this error:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-complex-type.2.3: Element 'Details' 
must have no character [children], because the types content type is 
element-only.

It's complaining about the Details element ... but I thought 
that <xs:restriction base="xs:anyType"> means that you can have a string 
in there, based on this tree:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#built-in-datatypes
... where string a is an anySimpleType which in turn is an anyType, 
which is the base restriction of the completxType anyDataType?

Am I wrong?
