Xerces only cares about the final content of a type. If you are really interested in what's added by the derived type, you'll have to do some dirty work. :-) For example, if a complex type is derived by extension from another complex type, and both have mixed/element-only content, then according to the spec, the particle of the derived type is a sequence. So to get the "net" content of the derived type, you can get the second particle in this sequence. I know it's ugly, but Xerces really isn't for that (not yet, at least).
