It's one of the very few (documented) unsupported schema features.
I recently added something which makes supporting this possible, I think.
I'll try it this evening.

You can always overwrite parts of a schema (often needed, because
many schema's contain bugs)  Something like this:

   $schema->importDefinitions(<<'_PATCH');
   <schema targetNamespace="???"
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <simpleType name="SpecialDateTimeType">
        <restriction base="dateTime"/>
     </simpleType> 
   </schema>
   _PATCH
-- 
Success,
