Description:

Proposed Advanced Pattern:

  <xs:element name="foo" abstract="true"></xs:element>

on a global element forbids its use in an instance document and implies the 
use of one of the elements from its associated substitution group. The use of 
substitution groups we have made an advanced pattern.

So while not evil on its own can only be used with evil intent...

pattern:

  ./xs:element[@abstract='true']/(@abstract)
