+My guess is WONTFIX since there seems no corresponding
+XmlBlahAttribute in System.Xml.Serialization.
+
+Interestingly MS.NET simply fails to support simpleType list and union
+such as:
+
+  <xs:element name="Elt">
+    <xs:complexType>
+      <xs:sequence>
+        <xs:element name="l">
+          <xs:simpleType>
+            <xs:list itemType="xs:float"/>
+          </xs:simpleType>
+        </xs:element>
+      </xs:sequence>
+    </xs:complexType>
+  </xs:element>
+
+It only generates a float field, not an array. (My guess is because MS
+incorrectly depends on BaseSchemaType/Datatyp simpleType restriction
+hence just works because its base type is the expected type.)
+
+We could alternatively totally kill support for simpleType
+restriction, but not sure if it is a smart solution.
