Element/GlobalElementFinal patterns

One of the examples we have for these patterns is not valid schema.

Pattern
   <pattern xml:id="GlobalElementFinal" status="basic" origin="ISSUE-89" groupid="GlobalElement">
     <xpath>./xs:element/@final)</xpath>
   </pattern>
Example
   <xs:element name="globalElementFinal" type="xs:string" final="#all"/>

Pattern
   <pattern xml:id="ElementFinal" status="basic" origin="ISSUE-90" groupid="Properties">
     <xpath>.//xs:element/(@final)</xpath>
   </pattern>
Example
      <xs:element name="elementFinal" type="ex:FinalAllType"/>
      <xs:complexType name="FinalAllType">
        <xs:sequence>
          <xs:element name="finalElement" type="xs:string" final="#all"/>
        </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>

The ElementFinal example is not valid xml - the final attribute on an element can only be used if the parent element is schema.

I propose we remove the ElementFinal pattern and example. 

Is this ok?

Thanks

PS most toolkits don't bother about this but any implementing XMLBeans do.
