+This example shows how to handle XML Schema polymorphism features such
+as xsi:type attributes and substitution groups in the Embedded C++/Parser
+mapping. The case when xsi:type or substitution groups are used on root
+elements is covered in the polyroot examples.
+
+The example consists of the following files:
+
+supermen.xsd
+ XML Schema which describes supermen instance documents.
+
+supermen.xml
+ Sample XML instance document.
+
+supermen-pskel.hxx
+supermen-pskel.cxx
+ Parser skeletons generated by the XSD/e compiler from supermen.xsd.
+ Note the use of the --generate-polymorphic command line option.
+
+supermen-pimpl-mixin.hxx
+supermen-pimpl-mixin.cxx
+
+supermen-pimpl-tiein.hxx
+supermen-pimpl-tiein.cxx
+ Parser implementations (using either mixin or tiein parser reuse
+ style) 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 one of 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
+
+The example reads from STDIN if input file is not specified:
+
+$ ./driver <supermen.xml
