[jira] Commented: (XERCESJ-1087) abstract element validation

    [

George Cristian Bina commented on XERCESJ-1087:
-----------------------------------------------

It looks valid to me too. Imagine you import this schema from another schema 
and define there an element that can substitute parent, something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:i="integ0">
    <xs:import namespace="integ0" schemaLocation="helper.xsd"/>
    <xs:element name="test" substitutionGroup="i:parent"/>
    <!-- ... -->
</xs:schema>

Regards,
George
