Section 3.3.1 has
"An element information item is ·valid· only if it satisfies the {type 
definition}."

This is not correct. An element can be valid if it satisfies an xsi:type that's 
derived from the {type definition} by extension, even if the element doesn't 
satisfy the {type definition} itself.
