Help with xs:substitutionGroup and MSXML

[Val Melamed]

Hi all,

These days I'm playing with schemas and SOM from MSXML. To learn it I used
the excellent tutorial from Mr.Costello:
http://www.xfront.com/xml-schema.html. while working through the labs I
stumbled upon a problem with substitutionGroup-s (Lab 9).

Below you can find both the schema and a sample document to test it.
Unfortunately, MSXML doesn't like the document and ends up with an error:
"### <guarantee>lifetime warranty</guarantee>(11) error: Element content
is invalid according to the DTD/Schema." Can someone please take a look at
it and comment on the problem. May be I am doing something wrong here or
may be someone can confirm that this is MSXML validation bug.

Thank you!
Val Melamed

<description>There&apos;s just no substitute for a properly
squeezed orange in the morning. So delicate and refreshing. The finest
hotels use mechanical juicers of this type for their most discriminating
guests. This is the largest selling juicer of its kind. It&apos;s a
beautiful little all-metal piece in baked enamel and polished chrome; it
even won the Frankfurt Fair Award for its design. Uses no electricity and
produces no non-recyclable waste as do frozen juices.</description>

<description>The Champion Juicer is the answer to every juicing
problem. Because it operates on the mastication process principle, the
Champion chews the fibers and breaks up the cells of vegetables and fruits.
This give you more fiber, enzymes, vitamins and trace minerals. The juice
will be a darker, richer color, with a sweeter, richer more full-bodied
flavor.</description>

<description>You are not What You Eat, But What you Absorb. The
rate of absorption of juice has never been considered a factor in comparing
juicers. With the introduction of Green Power&apos;s magnetic Twin Gear
press, this has now changed. Experiments conducted by the Green Power Co.
Research and Development Dept. show the rate of absorption of green juice
using dual gear extraction is up to five times greater than using
centrifugal extraction.</description>
