Ok, I studied the source a bit and it appears we don't support
polymorphism in element types. I believe the reason for this is
that when the root element's type is polymorphic, one would either
have (in XML) the same element represent multiple "instances" via
xsi:type or have multiple elements via the substitution group,
which then can still be all parsed via the base root element in
the generated code.

So I would be curious to know how many root elements you need
to handle and whether they form hierarchies via substitution
groups?
