It looks like you are using JAXB 1.0 which prohibited the use of @abstract
on <element>. If you upgrade to JAXB 1.0.1 and run the compiler with the
-extension switch, @abstract should be allowed eventhough it isn't implemented.
It also looks like the appinfo doc problem you are seeing was a JAXB 1.0 bug,
because gmlBase.xsd compiled fine when used the 1.0.1 compiler in extension mode:

This seems to only compile:

When I tried:

I got a ton of Xerces validation errors on the other schema files under the
gml directory - not sure what that's all about though...
