Hi,

trying to understand how to handle substitution groups, I wonder whether 
the following
algorithm is semantically correct:

- Suggest I have a global element which is referenced by other global 
elements as the target
  of a substitution group. (I understand that all these elements *must* 
be global, right?)

- Suggest that I build an implicit group. This group consists of the 
possible substitution elements.
  If the head element is *not* abstract, then I will also add the head 
element.

- Any reference to the head element is silently replaced by a reference 
to the implicit group.

Regards for any help,

Jochen
