XML - Schema Element with attribute and sequence of sub-elements

I have a XML schema as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           elementFormDefault="qualified">

    <xs:element name="labels">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="label"  minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                    <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence>
                            <xs:element name="language"  minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                                <xs:complexType>
                                    <xs:simpleContent>
                                        <xs:extension base="xs:string">
                                            <xs:attribute name="value" type="xs:string" />
                                        </xs:extension>
                                    </xs:simpleContent>
                                </xs:complexType>
                            </xs:element>
                        </xs:sequence>
                    </xs:complexType>
                </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>    

</xs:schema>

<labels> can have many <label> elements, and a <label> element can have many <language> elements. Now what i need is for my <label> element to have a unique attribute called 'identifier'.

I want to have a XML structure like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<labels
    xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation='labels.xsd'>

    <label identifier="class_contact">
        <language value="english">Contacts</language>
        <language value="afrikaans">Kontakte</language>
    </label>

</labels>

OK i changed it to this, now it allows for the identifier attribute but it does not enforce it to be unique.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
           elementFormDefault="qualified">

    <xs:element name="labels">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="label" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                    <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence>
                            <xs:element name="language"  minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                                <xs:complexType>
                                    <xs:simpleContent>
                                        <xs:extension base="xs:string">
                                            <xs:attribute name="value" type="xs:string" />
                                        </xs:extension>
                                    </xs:simpleContent>
                                </xs:complexType>
                            </xs:element>
                        </xs:sequence>
                        <xs:attribute name="identifier" type="xs:string" />
                    </xs:complexType>
                    <xs:unique name="UniqueLabelLanguage">
                        <xs:selector xpath="language" /> 
                        <xs:field xpath="@value" /> 
                    </xs:unique>
                    <xs:unique name="UniqueLabelIdentifier">
                        <xs:selector xpath="label" /> 
                        <xs:field xpath="@identifier" /> 
                    </xs:unique>
                </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>    

</xs:schema>
