Regarding CCTS spec p.12, example: Another way to view the "Address.
Details" ACC is as an abstract class which cannot be instantiated, but
which can be used to derive sub-classes. More specifically, "Address.
Details" would never appear in an XML document, but "Person. Residence.
Address" (for which "Residence" can be considered a sub-class derived
from "Address. Details") would appear.
So we could potentially have many ASCCs in a registry derived from the
"Address. Details" ACC.
