    It sounds like the schema is using abstract types rather than abstract elements.
    something like this:

    [code:1:6375a16c7c]<element name=\"Detail\" type=\"Detail\">

    <complexType name = \"Detail\" abstract=\"true\">
    <attribute name=\"Type\" type=\"string\" />
    </complexType>

    <complexType name=\"GeneralDetail\">
    <complexContent mixed=\"false\">
    <extension base=\"DetailType\"/>
    </complexContent>
    </complexType>

    <complexType name=\"SpecificDetail\">
    <complexContent mixed=\"false\">
    <extension base=\"DetailType\"/>
    </complexContent>
    </complexType>[/code:1:6375a16c7c]

    If this is the case then the output <Detail xsi:type=\”GeneralDetail\” Type=\”A\”/> is the correct output.

    There is no element called GeneralDetail, so this <GeneralDetail Type=\”A\”/> is not valid.

    If you wish to to use different element names then the schema needs to have the an abstract element and use a substitutionGroup
