It appears from the metadata that this test was originally intended to fail on the grounds that use="prohibited" is not allowed in an attribute group; however this assumption was incorrect and the schema and instance are both labelled as valid. 13519 1 michael.champion 2007-01-13 12:11:18 +0000 > This test does not make the assumption that use=prohibited is > disallowed from attribute groups.

The bug report is therefore invalid.
