[xsde-users] No polymorphism without substitutionGroup?

Without substitution groups XSD/e doesn't know which types are
polymorphic and which are not. And generating polymorphism support
for all types would be wasteful.

Two problems with this: Firstly, there is no type named 'root' in
your schema. That's an element name and the type name is 'root_type'.
But even if you fix this you still won't get the desired behavior
because it is not this type that you need to mark as polymorphic.
Rather, it is 'base'. So what you need is:

--polymorphic-type base

XSD/e will also automatically treat all types derived from 'base' as
polymorphic.
