In the Microsoft ComplexType test set, test group ctG001 illustrates what is
probably a problem in the spec rather than in the test itself.

In the schema, fooType is a restriction of myType. fooType has the particle
<element name="myElement"/> where myType has <any processContents="strict"/>.
Since there is no global element declaration for myElement, an instance
containing myElement would conform to the subtype but not to the base type,
meaning that type subsumption is violated.

I suspect, though I have not checked carefully, that this is a problem in the
specification rather than in the test. Other examples are ctG007-011.
