+This example shows how to handle the xsi:type attributes and substitution
+groups when they are used on root elements. For general coverage of XML
+Schema polymorphism handling in the Embedded C++/Parser mapping see the
+polymorphism example.
+
+The example consists of the following files:
+
+supermen.xsd
+ XML Schema which describes supermen instance documents.
+
+person.xml
+superman.xml
+batman.xml
+ Sample XML instance documents.
+
+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 implements a custom document parser
+ that determines which XML Schema type is being parsed and uses
+ the corresponding parser implementation. The driver first
+ constructs a parser instance from all the individual parsers
+ found in one of supermen-pimpl-*.hxx. In then invokes this parser
+ instance to parse the input file.
+
+To run the example on the sample XML instance documents simply execute:
+
+$ ./driver person.xml
+$ ./driver superman.xml
+$ ./driver batman.xml
+
+The example reads from STDIN if input file is not specified:
+
+$ ./driver <person.xml
+$ ./driver <superman.xml
+$ ./driver <batman.xml
