* An attribute group is a syntactic construct, not a part

* attribute group become local to the type that uses the group -
* they're not local to the attribute group itself. Therefore
* in the logical model of a schema type system, an attribute
* group doesn't represent anything. Its contents are merged
* into the logical model at parse time.
