RE: abstract=true

["Rob Enns" <rpe@juniper.net>]

Hi, 

The abstract="true" attribute indicates that the type is
an abstract type and can't be instantiated directly. It's
a standard XSD attribute and it's been in the NETCONF XSD
since the -00 draft. What are changes in the schema
that you're concerned about? The only changes made in -03
were to update the schema to match changes in the protocol
itself (modulo bugs of course :-)). 

One bug I've found in the -03 XSD is that the error-info
element's type should be "xs:anyType" rather than "xs:any".
