You mean something like this ?
<xs:complexType name="AbstractBusinessContentType"> <!-- No abstract
attribute anymore -->
<xs:sequence>
<xs:group ref="BusinessContentGroup"></xs:group>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Then I leave definition.xsd with no definition for
BusinessContentGroup and only define it in item.xsd, changing
xs:redefine to xs:include, right ?
That works but then the parent XSD becomes invalid, since the group
isn't defined there, right ?
I'm not comfortable with this solution (although I will use it if
nothing betters comes up :D).. Is there any other ?
I know it could sound a little picky, but I seems to me abstract
should do the work and I'm just forgetting something...
