  • Summary:

    Extending via inheritancy is problematic using the BPMN xsd format.

    The presence of the 'any' element on tBaseElement creates issues if you create subclasses that reside in a non-BPMN namespace. You cannot add elements to the subclass without violating the Unique Particle Attribution (UPA) rule in XML Schema (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/PER-xmlschema-1-20040318/structures.html#non-ambig)
