+ |                              DESCRIPTION                                   |
+ IBM Test Case: ibm4_3_7v24
+ 
+ If an element appears in an instance document in place of a wildcard <any 
+ processContents="strict"/> in the schema, either:
+ 
+ "There must be a global declaration for the item available, OR it must have an 
+ xsi:type, and it must be valid as appropriate." (XML Schema Structures Spec 
+ (CR) - Oct. 24, 2000)
+ 
+ The validation works OK if the element HAS a global declaration in the schema, 
+ but fails when using xsi:type for an element that DOES NOT.
+ 
+ Example schema (wild.xsd)
+ =========================
+ <?xml version="1.0"?>
+ <schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema">
+ 
+ <simpleType name="strType">
+   <restriction base="string"/>
+ </simpleType>
+ 
+ <element name="element" type="strType"/>
+ 
+ <element name="root">
+   <complexType>
+     <sequence>
+       <any/>
+     </sequence>
+   </complexType>
+ </element>
+ 
+ </schema>
+ 
+ Example instance (wild.xml)
+ ===========================
+ <?xml version="1.0"?>
+ <root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
+       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="wild.xsd">
+ 
+ <elem xsi:type="strType">string</elem>
+ 
+ </root>
+ 
+ The test should be valid, but the parser produces the error:
+ "Element type "elem" must be declared."
+ 
+ If the instance document line:  <elem xsi:type="strType">string</elem>
+ is replaced with:               <element>string</element>
+ 
+ the test passes OK.
