Re: [regrep] [XML Schema issue] Replace choice with type substitution

[Chiusano Joseph <chiusano_joseph@bah.com>]

Now I see (I was thinking of something else).  

SQLQuery and FilterQuery elements would be substitutionGroup'ed to the
Query element. So in the schema we would have:

<xsd:element name="Query" type="tns:AdHocQueryType" abstract="true"/>

<xsd:element name="SQLQuery" substitutionGroup="Query"
type="SQLQueryType"/>

<xsd:element name="FilterQuery" substitutionGroup="Query"
type="FilterQueryType"/>

And in the instance documents (as you mentioned):

<Query xsi:type="SQLQuery">
....
</Query>

OR

<Query xsi:type="FilterQuery">
....
</Query>

Either way is fine with me.
