Your schema includes a content model similar to the following in
DTD-notation:

  ( IDAH+ | CWG | ( IDAH+ , CWG) )

This is not allowed, by XML 1.0 in a DTD, and by W3C XML Schema in a
schema, because given an IDAH element in an instance, a processor
cannot immediately determine whether the first or the third branch of
the above choice is to be followed.

If you rewrite the above as

  ( CWG | ( IDAH+ , CWG?) )

or

  <xs:choice>
   <xs:element ref="CommentWorkGrid"/>
   <xs:sequence>
    <xs:element ref="IndicationDaysAndHours" minOccurs="28" maxOccurs="28"/>
    <xs:element ref="CommentWorkGrid" minOccurs="0">
     <xs:annotation>
       <xs:documentation>90037</xs:documentation>
     </xs:annotation>
    </xs:element>
   </xs:sequence>
 </xs:choice>

it will be OK.
