I am having trouble validating my xml schema.

I get these errors on the schema

113: 18 s4s-elt-invalid-content.1: The content of '#AnonType_user' is invalid.

164: 17 s4s-elt-invalid-content.1: The content of '#AnonType_festival' is invalid. Element 'sequence' is invalid, misplaced, or occurs too often.

and becuase of those 2 errors, i am getting loads of the same error. This is becuase the attribute id of the festival tag may be empty becuase there is not data for that festival

cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '' is not a valid value for 'integer'.

cvc-attribute.3: The value '' of attribute 'id' on element 'festival' is not valid with respect to its type, 'integer'.

The lines in the schema causing the problems are

<xs:element name="user">
  <xs:complexType>
 <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:integer"/>
   <xs:sequence>
  <xs:element ref="personal"/>
  <xs:element ref="account"/> 
   </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<xs:element name="festival">
  <xs:complexType>
 <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:integer" user="optional"/>
  <xs:sequence>
   <xs:element ref="event"/>
   <xs:element ref="contact"/> 
 </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

This is a snippet from my XML file. One user has a festival and the other doesn't
