In a XSD, can a element's name & type attributes have same value ?

Question

Hi,
Can i have a same value for the name & type attributes of an Element. For ex: in below XSD, the element 'ChildEL' has the same value('ChildEL') for the type attributes as the name('ChildEL') ?
I am asking this because when i generate Java Classes using Castor Source Code generator using this XSD has input, the output classes do NOT compile since the class ChildEL inherits itself and which causes the cyclic inheritance. Please help.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
     <xs:element name="ParentEL" type="ParentELType"/>
     <xs:complexType name="ParentELType">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="ChildEL" type="ChildEL" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
          </xs:sequence>     
          <xs:attribute name="CreationDate" type="xs:dateTime"/>
     </xs:complexType>
     <xs:complexType name="ChildEL">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:element name="Type" type="xs:string/>
               <xs:element name="ID" type="xs:string/>
          </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
Thanks,
Manoj

I figured out that this is possible and to avoid the compilation error in Castor source code generator is to set the property org.exolab.castor.builder.javaclassmapping=type in castorbuilder.properties config file.
