W3C XML Schema maintains separate "symbol spaces" for element
declarations on the one hand and type definitions on the other. In
the fragment above you can see that there is an element decl named
'facet' in the target namespace, _and_ a type definition named 'facet'
in the target namespace.
The mapping rules for <xs:element> make clear that the QName value of
the 'substitutionGroup' attribute is looked up in the element
declaration symbol space, so the right connection is being made in
this case.
