Can local element be abstract?

Hello,

 

Question: Can one declared a local element as abstract or is it
prohibited??

 

In the structures spec, I cannot find any description prohibiting the
declaration of abstract local element under section 3.3 Element
Declarations.

 

However, in the Schema for Schema at the end under complexType
name="localElement", it is defined that 

<xs:complexType name="localElement">
  <xs:complexContent>
   ...
    <xs:attribute name="abstract" use="prohibited"/>
   ...
</xs:complexType>
 

Thanks,
