Case 1 open extensibility on the extension element in the middle of the content model.

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="A" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="B" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="extension" type="xs:any" />

<xs:element name="D" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="E" type="xs:string" />

</xs:sequence>

Open extensibility on the extension element in the middle of the content model.

Case 2

<xs:complexType name="A1Type">

<xs:complexContent>

<xs:extension>

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="D" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="extension" type="xs:any" />

</xs:sequence>

</xs:extension>

</xs:complexContent>

</xs:complexType>

<xs:complexType name="A2Type">

<xs:complexContent>

<xs:extension base="A1Type>

<xs:sequence>

<xs:element name="F" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="extension" type="xs:any" />

</xs:sequence>

</xs:extension>

</xs:complexContent>

</xs:complexType>

A2Type extends A1Type but both have open extensibility on the extension element.

I think that in both cases it depends on what you mean by open
extensibility. Can you provide a small concrete example?
