+This example shows how to handle XML Schema polymorphism features such
+as xsi:type attributes and substitution groups in the C++/Parser mapping.
+The case when xsi:type is used on root elements is covered in the
+polyroot examples.
+
+The example consists of the following files:
+
+supermen.xsd
+ XML Schema which describes the "supermen" instance documents.
+
+supermen.xml
+ Sample XML instance document.
+
+supermen-pskel.hxx
+supermen-pskel.cxx
+ Parser skeletons generated by the XSD compiler from supermen.xsd.
+ Note the use of the --generate-polymorphic command line option.
+
+supermen-pimpl.hxx
+supermen-pimpl.cxx
+ Parser implementations that print the XML data to STDOUT.
+
+driver.cxx
+ Driver for the example. It first constructs a parser instance from
+ all the individual parsers found in supermen-pimpl.hxx. It then invokes
+ this parser instance to parse the input file.
+
+To run the example on the sample XML instance document simply execute:
+
+$ ./driver supermen.xml
