+       The C++ standard affects various aspects of the generated code that
+       are discussed in more detail in various mapping-specific
+       documentation. Overall, when C++11 is selected, the generated
+       code relies on the move semantics and uses \cb{std::unique_ptr}
+       instead of deprecated \cb{std::auto_ptr}.
+
+       When the C++11 mode is selected, you normally don't need to
+       perform any extra steps other than enable C++11 in your C++
+       compiler, if required. The XSD compiler will automatically
+       add the necessary macro defines to the generated header files
+       that will switch the header-only XSD runtime library (\cb{libxsd})
+       to the C++11 mode. However, if you include any of the XSD runtime
+       headers directly in your application (normally you just include
+       the generated headers), then you will need to define the
+       \cb{XSD_CXX11} macro for your entire project."
