The concept of xsi:type is ugly, and usually not required: the schema
tells both sides what the type of the element is.

If you are unlucky enough to require the use of xsi:type, then you
have to tell XML::Compile where to look for those elements, which
alternatives can be expected on which place.  Start reading in
XML::Compile::Schema section "Handling xsi:type"
