IOW, how do I do this:

Snoopy.xml:
<dog name="Snoopy"><!-- dog elements --></dog>

Felix.xml:
<cat name="Felix"><!-- cat elements --></cat>

And get

interface Dog extends Animal
interface Cat extends Animal
Animal implements get/setName()

?

Thanks,
Gary

Subject: Still no Substitution group support?

Hello,

>>From the 1.0 spec:

"Substitution group
Any XML Schema concepts indicating that substitution group support is
a necessary component of the schema should be reported as an error."

When will Substitution group be supported?

Is my only alternative is to use a vendor extension to specify a common
supertype?

Thanks,
Gary
