A 'same declaration' could also be an identical component, couldn't it?
If yes, then shouldn't the following model be accepted by Saxon as well?
I'm a bit scared of the necessity of component identity checks here.

<xs:choice>
    <xs:element name="a"/>
    <xs:element name="b"/>
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="a"/>
        <xs:element name="b"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:choice>
