(I guess it's up to Paul to say if we should close the issue)

For someone consuming PROV-XML I guess it would be a bit bothersome
that there are three almost equivalent mechanism, but in my opinion at
least this section gives a decent explanation to those mechanisms.


Is the implication from the xsi:type support that I can make an
extension schema with a ex:Workflow complex type extending prov:Plan,
and then use only xsi:type="ex:Workflow" (or equivalent custom
element) in the XML?

Would PROV-XML consumers who don't understand my schema (but have
access to it through xsi declarations in the document) be expected to
also understand those as prov:Plans?
