The schema for the Microsoft Element test
(group="elemZ027_c";name="elemZ027_c") is described as invalid in the metadata.
I think that this schema is actually valid. From my reading of the spec [1] and
this post to the xmlschema-dev list [2] I believe that the block="substitution"
on element "b" only blocks "a" from being a member of "b"'s substitution group.
As such the element "d" specified in the base type can be substituted by "c",
"b" and "a" which means the derived type is valid.
