I believe there is a typo in referenceWork it should read:
	<xs:simpleType name="referenceWork">
		<xs:annotation>
			<xs:documentation>
				<p>Validation for workRef in text. Recommended that all text carry a
workref attribute.</p>
			</xs:documentation>
		</xs:annotation>
		<xs:restriction base="xs:NMTOKEN">
			<xs:pattern value="(([\c]+)\.([\c]+))"/>
		</xs:restriction>
	</xs:simpleType>
