Does it say that in the specs? I did not find it. It sure says that
substitution groups are not supported... :-(

I thought I did that:

    <xs:complexType name="intelMachineProfile">
        <xs:complexContent>
            <xs:restriction base="cics:abstractTargetMachineProfile">
                <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" use="optional"
default="Intel"/>
                <xs:attribute name="endian" type="cics:endian"
use="optional" default="little"/>
            </xs:restriction>
        </xs:complexContent>
    </xs:complexType>

Are you saying: do not use XSD-style "inheritance", do not define the
attributes in the supertype?

I've had a similar problem, the reason for which was that JAXB does not
implement the inheritance of attributes when restricting a type,
although it should.

I guess for know you will have to redefine the attributes (+ default
values) on the restricted types.
