XSD for repeat elements with same name but different attribute value

I am trying to write a XSD for the following XML snippet.

<loop id="1000" name="loop 1000" />
<loop id="1000" name="loop 1000" />
<loop id="2000" name="loop 2000" />
<loop id="2000" name="loop 2000" />
<loop id="2000" name="loop 2000" />

I wrote the following XSD

<xs:element name="loop" maxOccurs="3">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:attribute use="required" fixed="1000" type="xs:string" name="id" />
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="loop" maxOccurs="3">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:attribute use="required" fixed="2000" type="xs:string" name="id" />
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

But this seems to be failing in XML validation.

The XML is not in my control. How do I handle this?

EDIT:

I wrote a xml parser+generator and changed the received XML to something like 

<_1000>...</_1000>
<_1000>...</_1000>
<_2000>...</_2000>
<_2000>...</_2000>
<_2000>...</_2000>

Now I can write the XSD easily for this.

<xs:element name="loop" minOccurs="3" maxOccurs="3">
            <xs:simpleType>
                <xs:attribute use="required" fixed="1000" type="xs:string" name="id" />
                <xs:attribute use="required" fixed="loop 1000" type="xs:string" name="name" />
            </xs:simpleType>
        </xs:element>
        <xs:element name="loop" minOccurs="3" maxOccurs="3">
            <xs:simpleType>
                <xs:attribute use="required" fixed="2000" type="xs:string" name="id" />
                <xs:attribute use="required" fixed="loop 2000" type="xs:string" name="name" />
            </xs:simpleType>
        </xs:element>
