The PersonType is used for PERSON elements. It
describes one unique individual, with a name,
a birthday, and so on. However, some or all of the
information about this individual may be unknown
and hence omitted.
PERSON elements may be used as the root element
of a document. No other element declared in this
schema may be so used.
